FWIW, anyone buying it absolutely, positively shouldn't pay the extra $100 for the 3-bolt Ford 2-bbl adapters. The two 1-bbl Stude carbs are all that's needed.

Offenhauser #2708....still available new...$279.00 from Summit, for example.

I used to wonder about that years ago when I had a Lark. I believe it is only because the hoods are lower on the later cars. The manifold will fit the later block.

The water jacket may be for a marine application?

Not necessarily. It replaces the exhaust heat on the OEM iron intake; only necessary in cold/humid climes.

Possibly because it is drilled for the earlier carburetors. The 53 and later carburetors have a port for exhaust gas.
