Stovebolt.com Forums The Shop Area The HiPo Shop Thickstun Intake manifold

Hello All,
I just bought a Thickstun two single intake manifold for the Chevy 216-261. I can't find another one any where. I have learned that at a young age, Tommy Thickstun became interested in and designed intake manifolds for Vic Edelbrocks flathead Ford lakester. Any one have knowledge to share ? Thanks..

Only that they are rare. Thickstun died in his early 30s I think, so I'd assume that had something to do with their rarity. A search here on Stovebolt will produce some comments from the past and possibly www.inliners.org could help you. He was also part of the Tattersfield design and production of intakes.

This is a current ad on EBay for a Tattersfield with some history.
