Re: Need an intake manifold

I believe the boss is there, or close, and can easily be drilled and tapped....i did it to put a 51 327 in my 50 and to use the original 50 linkage. However, if that scares you (shouldn't) I have a great condition 2bbl 50 288 intake if you're interested, it's in 44484 (ohio) I would imagine that there is little or no difference between a 288 and 327 manifold, especially 2 bbl.
Drilling and tapping that boss is no biggie, barely has to go into the manifold boss, not even into the runner, and use a short bolt with locktite. However, i think it was 2 bolts on the 50 manifold, and there's only one there on the later manifolds. If i recall, i had only drilled and tapped one bolt, tightened it, and let the other side of the bracket hang out over the manifold. Snugged it up, and had no issues with it. I'd take a pic, but the car is in storage and not here.
