This manifold is part of the Weiand Nostalgia Series of intake manifolds. Weiand Nostalgia Series intake manifolds are made using the original tooling, and may have minor appearance imperfections that do not affect the functionality of the part. These minor blemishes are a natural part of the casting process when using the original sand casting tooling. Weiand Nostalgia series intakes are proudly cast and machined in the USA. We support all areas of the vintage, show, and nostalgia car hobby, and want to continue to produce these lower volume manifolds using the original tools. There is no need to search for that vintage intake at swap meets or on the internet when you can buy the real deal new from Weiand!

The Weiand Company was founded by Phil Weiand as a performance parts warehouse in the 1930s and sold a variety of speed parts. The first Weiand product, the "High Weiand" manifold was manufactured and marketed in 1937. It was the first aluminum intake on the market. In 1949 Weiand introduced a series of "tri-power" and four 2-barrel manifolds and immediately after WWII Weiand debuted a line of aluminum cylinder heads for flathead Ford engines. The famous "Drag Star" line of "log" manifolds for Hemi engines was introduced in 1952 and in 1957 Weiand developed complete blower drives for the GMC 6-71 supercharger. Other feats first dual plane, "Colt" 180 degree intake 1965, and in 1968 came the "Hi-Ram Manifold" with its patented D-port technology. Next "X-terminator" single plane manifold series in 1972 and Weiands high performance aluminum water pumps the following year. "X-CELerator", a series of performance single plane intakes was developed in 1974. "Team G" series of 360 racing manifolds were introduced in 1978. A year later "Action" series of high performance replacement manifolds debuted. Weiand became the first OE supplier of superchargers to Mercury Performance Marine in 1990, and over the next three years the "Stealth" series of high performance dual plane manifolds was designed, the "Pro-Street" supercharger was certified "emissions legal" by CARB and Weiand received the industry's first "E.O." for an intake manifold. Then the 8-71 supercharger for SBC and BBC in 1996 and the first aluminum LS-1 intake manifold in 2002. In 2005 Weiand began designing manifolds on Computational Fluid Dynamics software to deliver perfectly designed runner lengths for maximum air/fuel delivery on its newest intakes the Warrior line. To make more power you have to get more air into your engine. Look to Weiand as your power source, or partner with products from other Holley companies, to give you even more power!

Customer Questions
Will an engine flush clean my pistons?
No, an engine flush is unlikely to clean the pistons.
How to replace engine pistons?
Replacing engine pistons involves removing the engine from the vehicle, disassembling it, removing the pistons, inspecting the engine components, installing the new pistons, reassembling the engine, and testing it. It's a complex process that should only be attempted by experienced mechanics.
When do engine pistons rings go bad?
Engine piston rings can go bad due to wear and tear, inadequate lubrication, overheating, manufacturing defects, or improper installation. Symptoms of failing piston rings include reduced engine power, increased oil consumption, and blue smoke from the exhaust. Regular maintenance and inspection can help identify potential issues.
Why do engine piston rings fail?
Engine piston rings can fail due to wear and tear, inadequate lubrication, overheating, manufacturing defects, or improper installation. Regular maintenance and inspection of the engine can help identify potential issues. Symptoms of failing piston rings include reduced engine power, increased oil consumption, and blue smoke from the exhaust.
Can you replace engine pistons rings without removing the engine?
Replacing engine piston rings without removing the engine is possible but not recommended due to the extensive disassembly required and the risk of damaging other engine components. A full rebuild or overhaul is generally more efficient and effective.
Are oil pump gears necessary?
Yes, oil pump gears are essential for maintaining proper engine lubrication in an internal combustion engine.
How do oil pumps work?
Oil pumps work by creating pressure to circulate engine oil throughout an internal combustion engine.
Where is the oil pump located?
The oil pump is typically located inside the engine's lower oil pan or sump.
Why do oil pump failures happen?
Oil pump failures can arise from wear, contamination, poor maintenance, and manufacturing defects, causing inadequate lubrication and potential engine damage.
