i just got possesion of a cast intake in on a trade but not sure what it is. the casting is 3866822 could someone help out on the numbers? thanks

Blaine,

There are three 4-barrel cast-iron intake's that were used.

The old early WCFB intake, the old 300hp/327 intake and finally the Q-Jet intake.

would that be a good intake for performance on a small block? where does it rate with others?

OK, the WCFB intake will have four little-bitty holes. And it's carb mount outline will be sorta scalloped...

The AFB intake will have four bigger holes, but the two in front will be ever so slightly smaller than the rear holes. And squared up..

AND finally the Q-Jet intake will have to little-bitty front holes and two great big rear holes so which intake is it??

And both the AFB and the Q-Jet intake's are darn good for STOCK!!

I doubt if you can even scare up an old WCFB carb. nowadays unless the EARLY 'Vette guys decide to let one go??

it's the one with the four smaller holes. so what do i have something good? whats WCFB stand for for????

AFB means "aluminum 4-barrel"!

I'm not sure about WCFB, "CFB" = "Carter 4-barrel"???

Sorry,

pdq67

PS., you can ID a WCFB real easy b/c it is the only 4-barrel carb. made that has a cast-iron base plate and it is usually all rusty!!
