I looked around my usual 3D printed sites for a 4-barrel intake manifold for a a Ford flathead with no results.

Does anyone know if one exists? The alternative is to make one up. Which should not be difficult.

Plans are to use a 3D Predator carb and a batwing air cleaner. Thanks!

Texas 3D has a single 4bbl intake in one of their flathead kits, but it doesn't look like they sell it separately. You could email and ask, worst they could say is no.

On the flip side, if you have a stock flatty intake, it's not too hard to fabricate one from there.

Thanks. I saw that after my post. I'd like to use what I have around first. 

I was messing around with the '49 Ford flattie and the exhaust manifolds are molded in, so is the starter.

I cut those out and closed up the openings. Then realized I may not have enough room to run the distributor. The same happened to me with the AMT Mercury engine.

I dug out a partial Lindberg '53 Ford kit, which has a great flattie in it. It looks promising so far.

I have Norm Veber's distributor and his headers. Plus many other of his flathead goodies to fall back on.
