Last week we showed you an interesting looking intake manifold and challenged you to tell us what engine families it fit. In true fashion several of you nailed it. The intake is a reproduction of a classic Smoljan intake that was made in California during the 1960s. Dave Thibeault of Studebaker Parts and Services in Maynard, Massachusetts now reproduced these intakes and has them available for sale. Call him up at 978-897-3158 if you want one!
These intakes were designed and intended for Studebaker engines but according to Dave they can be adapted without much trouble for use on old Caddy engines in the same family as the 390. Thibeault said that the Studebaker V8 shared many similarities with the Cadillac engine and the Caddy design strongly influenced Studebaker engineers. The Stude engines are legendary for their robust built quality. Dave said he sets these intakes up with Stromberg WW carbs of Rochester 2CG pieces.
Now onto today’s challenge! Below you will see a large crankcase for an inline configuration engine. We want you to tell US what famed American make it powered! Straight eight power! Is this another stumper? Tune in tomorrow for the answer!
Not completely sure but I think it’s a Deusenberg. Am I close?

Stutz!
Packard Super 8
I think John has it, looks like a Packard Super 8 to me.
It looks like aluminum so I agree with Dan Stokes, Deusenberg!
Stutz, and the rest only followed
