I was messing around with ideas on building a carbed engine for my '79 project. when I stumbled upon an Offenhauser intake for the old AMC/jeep I-6 engines and noticed the similarity in shape.

does anyone know if the runners will line up? or how close in size they would be?

 

I ran a search but came up negative.

Would the manifold linked below meet your requirement if it bolts right on without any issues, i.e. made for the 6 cylinder Z car engine or are you trying to do something really exotic?

I've seen the arizona setup.

 

I was asking if anyone knew if the Offy jeep intake would work cause I can get it for free or almost free I just gotta haul a parts jeep over here, and was hoping someone could tell me before I went through the troubles.

 

also how cool would it be to have an Offy intake on a Z?

I think the Jeep port configuration is different than the Datsun, but I’m not 100% sure though.

 

The Datsun port config is…

These pictures better show the Datsun intake port config. Just compare that with the JEEPs
