Thank you to everyone who responded about my intake manifold. Likely the
"8" really is a 9 and just was poorly cast. Only at one angle does it sort
of look like a 9 nor does it look like the 6 inverted.
The more I probe through my car I am firmly convince that someone bought a
number of Tiger's as a parts cars, then using all the spare, worn out parts
they had left cobbled together what I now 20 years later own. I will say
that it is fitting that the intake manifold could have been used with an
industrial "stationary" engine given the time that the car has been sitting
idle.
