I recently purchased an Edmund's Custom Intake for a 235. I have a picture
if any one is interested. It is water cooled. The stud spacing is 2 15/16"
and the bore is 1 3/4". The biggest problem I see with it is how they
intended the linkage to be setup. It has two holes in the manifold for a rod
to run through. You attach carb arms to it and that manages the throttle. As
far as I can tell I will have to make this linkage myself to get the
manifold operational.

There was one similar to it on ebay, but you could tell it was for the 216
because the carb bodies had been slotted for the narrower stud spacing.
There is an Edmund's Custom intake for a Buick on ebay now that shows the
general idea of these manifolds and how the water hooks up. The item number
is 510894031.

Does any body have 3x1 intake on there 235/216 I'm wondering about clearance
problems I'm putting this in
my 38 1/2 and dont have the cab mounted or the intake for that matter to
check for clearance problems.
I've heard that a cliffords or Edmonds intakes are water heated and would
like some input on these. I think the
offy Intake is setup to use stock exaust heat as I'm going with Fentons I
prefer to use Water but they do have plugs to plumb exaust heat also.
