Bolt pattern looks like a dodge red ram.

I believe it is an aftermarket intake for the '53-'54 Chrysler 331 hemi. The bolt pattern is the same and it has the water outlets in the proper location. The pre-1955 early hemis had a "wet" intake with the thermostat housing as part of the intake. The later hemis(late '54-'58)had a crossover manifold that held the thermostat and bolted to water exits on the front of each head. This one has the water outlets in the same location as the early "pre-'55" heads. It's a very unique manifold and probably worth $$$ to an early hemi enthusiast.

does the base have any similarities to the fuel injection early HEMI manifolds? shruggy & an adapter to carburate it?

With two water outlets,may possibly be a marine intake,part number looks to be 1562843,puts it around 1954.

I've posted on multiple message boards and social medial platforms. The consensus is, that nobody knows haha. It's a cool piece that hopefully one day we can track down exactly what it was used for.

I would call or e mail HotHeads the early hemi guys I think in the Carolinas or georga. They specialize in those engines. I also was thinking marine or maybe a stationary pump or industrial application. Its a nice piece.

It's for early Firepower Chrysler. Bolts go 1-2-2-2-1 with the center 2 and the outer ones closer to the centerline of the intake.

The Desoto has them pretty much all in a row.

The Red Ram is backwards from the Firepower and the center two are farther away from the intake centerline.

It doesn't look factory to me, but the part number is, except for the "E". Is it cast iron or aluminum? I like the pencil calculations visible on the top machined surface.

It also looks pretty low-perf to me.

This is a pre-'55 331 hemi with an aftermarket intake and stock heads. Notice the water outlets in the manifold. What you have, and I said it before, is an aftermarket intake for a '53 or '54 Chrysler 331 Hemi.

I will have it on display in the museum. Will be a fun conversation piece. I'll have answers from around the web shown so people can figure out for themselves what they believe it to be. Got it as part of a package of stuff, including a hyper pak setup.
