Intakes Part 3
Built one yourself
I wish I could take credit for building the manifold shown below. Instead I bought it with a load of HEMI parts I got several years ago. It does show what can be done with a lowly 2 BBL intake with a little work. This basically started out as a 2BBL passenger car manifold (like the one shown in the picture above) that was originally converted to 3 carbs by milling the ends off, building end caps from pieces of pipe and adding (originally) 3 bolt Stromberg bases. Welding was accomplished through brazing due to the dissimilar metals (cast iron and steel). I have since converted to larger Rochester 2GC carbs (large base center and small base ends)
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
