I found this from german e-bay. The advertisement didnt tell anything but it is from Porsche.

Could somebody tell me which model it is from ?? Or, is it some aftermarket or racing part ?? Any ideas ??

It's a 3.3 turbo intake, for a single throat solex.

It sorg of looks like an intake manifold from a 3.2 or 3.6, but not quite to my eye. Though I'm not that familiar with Six manifolds, so... But it's solid all the way across, which leaves no room for expansion with heat. And the motor does indeed grow as it warms up! I thought that the stock manifold had rubber or plastic "boots" on it like the stock 914 manifolds do...

maybe it's a corvair part?

age looks about right, put a big holly or edelbrock on there and it would look period correct on a corvair motor.

It's not an intake from a 3.2, got one, similar shape, but that ain't it.

Definitely earlier than '84, if Porsche at all. Any markings of any kind stamped on it???

Mystery solved.

It should be from Porsche 3,2 L aircraft engine.
