the 429/460 has valve covers about twice as wide as these and more than 4

More/bigger pictures would help. The chryslers usually have a slant to
the distributor. Maybe it's the 429/460 ford block? 28 ft is big enough
that it could be some sort of big block. There is probably some casting
numbers on the intake and heads that might lead somewhere.


One thing is for sure, don't expect those old log exhaust manifolds to be
any good.- Hide quoted text -

The more I think about it the more I remember the intake was different
on the 460 as well.
