Look at the picture at http://www.photoisland.com/servlet/GuestLogin?USERNAME=29mdla If it asks for a password use "pic". I have not been able to figure out what this fits a lot of people have guesed but no luck so far. At the album you can get original size by working with the left side. Thanks Dave........... ------------------

According to my pre-1960's archive, it looks like a "McGurk" racing manifold. Frank McGurk was well know in the 1940's/1950's. The reason I say this is from about 30 or so different pictures of intake manifolds that I have, McGurk was the only one that turned the mounting flang bolts to run the same direction as the log. (90 degree from other manifolds brands). The second clue was McGurk often used three nice size fins on top and the log. And his runners had a slight downhill flow to the head.
I would bet money that your pictures are of a Frank "McGurk" racing intake manifold.

Except for the rectangular intake ports, this manifold closely resembles the Ellis i have. My manifold is clearly labeled as an Ellis for "GMC 270H 1950."
God's Peace to you.

Tom Langdon looked at this and his guess is that it's for a Chevy 250/292, judging from the port spacing and rectangular shape, although he thought Ellis was out of business before the 250 was introduced.

More info. Most 250 ect. ports are 2 1/4 The ones on this intake are 1 1/4 on the ends and 1 1/2 in the middle. About the right length. Someone also told me with ELLIS intakes to first think truck if you can't tell what it fits.

I think Ellis made dual manifolds for big old International 6's, For KB-7s and KB-8s and such.
Vintage Auto Parts, now gone, used to have some big Ellis manifolds, and they told me they were for old IH big truck 6's.

Not a International KB-8 or KB-10, they are the same and sized like the giant GMC t. Don't know about the KB-7 but if the ports are like the KB-8, they are not the same
