Intake info

I have a alum intake here Chevy SB part # 3823481 what's it fit? I can't find it in the blueprints. Holley bolt pattern. Oh it has the oil fill tube in it too.

that manifold was used on US Army personell carriers from the late 50's to the early 60's---they originally came with a carter wcfb carb on a 283 engine I think it was a M135 carrier if my memory is right---comp

correction it is a M113 not a M135 carrier

The M113 was diesel powered while the smaller M114 was powered by the 283 Chevy rated at 160hp.
In Viet Nam the m114 was a scout version and was underpowered and under armored and mostly gone by the late '60's.
I remember racers scouring military junkyards looking for those motors.

Before the M113 Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) got the Detroit Diesel, it had a small-block Chrysler (old poly-sphere). They would flood out at the worst possible times, and the engine was so tight against the right side bulkhead you had to be a contortionist to change plugs. I was very glad to see the A1 model fielded!

And on the 113 you can't forget the deluxe plywood "swim panel" to keep the front slope from turning vehicle into a submarine.

I believe the "early" 113's had a Chrysler 361, not a small block. the 114's were 283's. They sounded fast, but weren't. ha ha

I spent plenty time in a M113. I could even sleep in it while it was moving. Just hold on to the strap and nod away.
