I have an Offenhauser 1078 4bbl manifold but it's at the engine builder and I can't measure it. I have read about every thread/post about these manifolds and carb. options but saw no specifications. I have considered another Offenhauser 1078 for another flathead that I have and was curious how the WCFB throttle bore and the 1078 compared. I have a perspective source for early Carters used on early '50s Buicks and Olds.
Happy Holidays,

Texas Webb, I've contacted the source and haven't heard back yet. I don't know if he's into the "rebuild and sell" business but if he has the cores, and wants the business, I'll let you know.

A quote from an Offy. 1078 seller.

"The Offy single 4-barrel intake is drilled for the early ’50s small Carter WCFB carb-mounting pattern, so an adapter is mandatory with a Holley carb, even if you don’t have other linkage- or choke-clearance issues."
 
Howard, next time you drive by, stop in and I'll show you something to think about?? Merry Christmas
