Does anyone know who would sell Offenhauser manifolds for the 1965 273 engine?
The very old Offenhauser catalogue lists the dual port, but I am more interested in the 360 equa-flow manifolds, either the high rise, 5699 or the low rise, 5489.

Does Offenhauser even cast them anymore?

Contact them. They come up for sale here every now and then. You can start a want ad. Look for the Edelbrock D4B for the 64-65 273 heads.
 
Supposedly Offenhauser maintains all the patterns for everything they've ever cast. Or at least they used to. They may be able to make one for a price.

I wonder what the old Offy catalogs say about this one?

Hey Steve! How much for the non EGR Holley Street Dominator? If you don't want to part with it, would you care to show us some more pics, if it isn't too much trouble? That's only the second non EGR street dominator I've ever seen. Never in person that I can recall, only on interweb.

I HAD THAT STREET DOMINATOR BACK IN THE DAY ON MY 318 with an 850 TQ it screamed great intake for a 318 or 273
 
I've got one of the EGR 318 Street dominators right now, the rear runner and plenum area looks more symmetrical on the non EGR unit than the more common EGR unit.

Come on already, I've been looking for a week already. Any body out there selling one I'll pay top dollar.

Have you placed a want ad? One week? These things don't just fall out of a tree. They are only made for one engine built for 2 years. Not much call for the oddball so not many were made.
 
Look around for a stock manifold made for the 65 HP 273's. Thousands of them were made.

Joseph, I'll keep an eye out for one on this side of the USA for you. It took me around three months to find my LD4B and a three hundred mile round trip to get it.

Of cause I placed an ad on the wanted site. After you helped me figure out which one I needed. Not trying to be a wise guy about it. Do you remember helping me out. In discussing about the Intake bolt size. I even tried calling Edelbrock to discuss trying to keep the D4B's in stock for people like us that are having a hard time with getting one.

Hi Garrett, I'm really not interested in selling it. Sorry. But here are some pictures.

Yes. Be patient. You are searching for something elusive. You will find one. Or look for 66 and newer 273/318 heads and then you have more intake choices. It all depends what you want out of your 273.

Stephen Mulkey, Much appreciative for looking out. I have been going nuts trying to find a D4B Intake for my early 65 273. People have been great in helping on this site and its been much helpful. I have reached out to Edelbrock and they will get back. Keep you informed. Thanks Joe eichner.

Thank you, I want to ad the D4B for my personal use and keep the heads original. I was lucky to get a nice rust free 65 Formula S from Nevada a couple years ago and don't want to molest the heads. I hear what your saying but trying to keep it as close to original for resale. Joe
 
Offy is live and well still doing it the old school way call them if you cant obtain one used .
I had one made for a 401 AMC with 4500 top and a Port O sonic for the LA engine within the last two years , go on utube check their video out of YEARLY open house where the public is allowed in .

I believe sometimes thats the only way to go is to the top. Thanks Joe
 
Good luck finding a D4B. Keep an eye out on ebay as well. I picked mine up over there when one popped up.

I picked up a dual quad Edelbrock for the early LA for $100. They are out there.
