I will dig it out and post pics and numbers off of it to identify. I was just curious who would need it and what it's worth. Any info? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy bullittben, I have a couple of them, one in a 59, and one in a 60. I take it you have a four barrel carb and manifold? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 24 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 24 | That's right. We haven't looked at it in years, so I'll try to get it out and get some more info. I just wondered whether anyone would need it. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 163 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 163 | The passenger car 348 intakes aren't worth anything, I've given a couple away. I'd guess the truck stuff is worth even less. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 942 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2003 Posts: 942 | The passenger car 348 intakes aren't worth anything, I've given a couple away.

If they were a matching set even more. I'm not really up on the Truck Intakes and Carbs, but I would say they would have some kind of decent value. Bill

It should be worth something to the right guy, that's usually the key. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Ben, I sent you a PM. I don't know what I'd do with it but maybe I could find and engine block and more parts to go with it someday?  I just think one of thosw would make a nice conversation piece sitting down in a piece of old iron. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,871 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,871 | When I taught at a Tennessee state vo-tech school in the mid-1980's, we had a brand new, never-fired 409 engine for a 1965 Impala that had been donated to the school by GM when it opened in the early 1970's. We disassembled it once, and there were still felt-tip marker notes on the piston crowns, indicating the weight in grams!
I got offered $3,000.00 by a collector once, if I'd take a 30-minute coffee break after the students left for the day, and come back to find a 348 in place of the 409. I refused the offer! After I moved on to another job, they closed the shop down and the engine disappeared. Don't know where if finally went!

Sorry Jerry, couldn't resist but I have seen such things happen at Vocational Schools with stuff when they were simply "upgrading" the material. But of coase a savy guy would know the dip stick was on the wrong side...or was it the oil filter..or both? | | |
