I am looking at a 1957 Ford Custom  2 dr sedan, that the owners Grandfather bought New, it was a special order car and they claim it has had the 3x2 intake on it since day one, it is a cast iron intake, the engine is a 312 with Chrome T-Bird special Valve covers, this iron intake, 3 speed manual trans... Thanks for any help..

What would be the engine code if this jewel came with factory 3x2 induction?

Was this induction even offered in 57 on this stripped down car?

How rare is it, if it is the real deal?

Thanks Yes I am a Y-block Newbie
