Hello guys. Where I can find this intake manifold? 3D, extra parts from any kit (donor)? Or even something I can use as a base...Thanks

There is this manifold in the Revell 49 Mercury Custom Coupe that comes with a Cadillac Engine.  Don't know if it is Hi-Rise enough for what you're seeking but seems to come close to your photos.  If you would like, I can take a picture of it?

This is a bit of a self-promotion, but I just uploaded a 2x2 version recently; it can be printed via Shapeways.
A bit of styrene and/or Milliput, and boom--it's a 3-carb manifold!

Note--the prototype at right has carb linkages, but no carb linkages are present on the Thangs version; they're too fragile for Shapeways to print. (That's a Revell Cadillac parts pack engine, by the way).

If you want a kit source, I'd suggest the flathead intake from the Revell '32 Tudor sedan...trim off the Flathead-specific intake runners, and add your own carved from styrene to mate with the Cadillac.
