Hmmm what to do with this? (click to enlarge)
This is an early Fenton small block Chevy 3x2 that I just picked up. Carbs and water neck are not bolted down. Carbs need rebuilt. But I like it! Any idea what years Fenton made this type of intake? It has the early tube beside the water neck. Couldn't find any company history online. Thanks,Bill

GOLD, solid gold! Fenton made these in the sixties!

And complete with Leakers!!!

Now you need a 29 rdstr on 32 rails an a 283 to put it on!

This Fenton beauty is going on a '67 283/pg set up that I'm going to put in my '52 Ford F1 pickup. Paint what paint? Carbs are currently getting completely redone/replated, "the works." Thats funny you speak of a 29. Going Friday w/ a friend to pick up a '29 he just bought. Think he's going the nailhead route.

Here to see pics of the 52 http://community.webshots.com/user/novatattoo

I had to sell my 29 Fords (2 roadster, ! coupe) due to health probs. BUT I still have a 65 Chev "Scooby Doo" van, very similar to your picture.

Thought someone here would have some info on this beauty. Rare?

The manifold is exactly like an Edelbrock that I have. It even has the little raised things on the left side runners for machining. It also has the provision in the back drivers side for the 55 Chevy water temp probe. That was a 55 only deal. I have a pic of my manifold on the car in 57. The carbs are absolutely 55 Chevy carbs. They are the only ones with the little hats for bowl vents. The whole thing is probably mid to late 50's.

Thanks so much for the valueable info. Carbs are currently at a friends getting cleaned up, rebuilt, and replated. This is going on my '67 283/350 trans and going in my '52 Ford F-1.

Thanks,Bill
