This is a center-oiler block. FYI

Footnote:

Side oilers came out in 1964. On a Ford part number the second number is the year of the part. Like C3XX is 1963.

Ernie - I'm not sure if this qualifies as hi-jacking my own thread, but I thught I should draw this auction to your attention, as I think you expressed some interest in my high riser manifold earlier...

Thanks for the tip, I'm the current high bidder.

I haven't been able to confirm the Ford part number yet but it DOES indeed appear to be a high riser intake.

Lack of an exhaust heat cross over port is one clue! The intake openings should be real close to 3" tall. 2" or so on med riser. Can you confirm port height?

Ernie - here is the height of the high riser ports

Yup, 2 and 3/4 or 7/8 right at it anyway. Thats what mine are. With some port matching done on mine closer to 7/8.

...I hope your manifold finds a new home in Hawaii.

Hey I need TWO of those 427 air cleaner nuts listed at 7.99 and no current bids. You got one or TWO? Lets make a deal and ship them with "my" new intake manifold.
