Lincoln? V12 intake manifold

[tomcarman]

I have this intake manifold and I want to positively identify it to sell. I searched on the internet and the photos I found are similar to '46 - '48 Lincoln V12. There are barely visible markings on it and compared to the NOS one for sale on Ebay this one appears to have been perhaps molested? though still in very usable condition. It has the remnants of the gasket and what appears to be some sort of phenolic? spacer for the carb. Any one have knowledge as I'm sure given the short lived history of the V12 there are fewer examples remaining than the Ford flathead V8.

I think it is 1934 on account of shape of fuel pump mount, also shape of carb mount is same as Stromberg

Beside the date on the bottom Ford also included the part number, maybe Lincoln did also.

On pic. #5, can you make out the year in the casting? This could be an early HV12
for the '36-'37 Lincoln Zephyr--267 CI All of the HV12s I have owned and worked on were cast with a '47 year. I don't think it is a "K" Lincoln--L.E.B.

Here's a close up. I can't make any of the other numbers out. The first number past the dash has what appears to be the same angle as the "4" before the dash but impossible to verify. Who ever did the grinding work next to it all evidently took no pride in his work. Sloppy. The several similar ones on ebay are clear to read but they also are cast into the top. This one may have had that ground off as shown in picture #6 from post#1. There is shinier spot there and possible evidence of grinder/scratches? on the surface but impossible for me to verify. The casting itself shows no evidence of damage. Oh well, I may never know.

At least 36-41 Lincoln with the three bolt carburetor. The later V12s in the mid 40s changed to a four bolt carburetor.
