Dave, Not trying to bust your chops here and that may be what You and your buddies called it but according to my book in 57 Oldsmobile called their 3-2 setup a J2 Tri-power.The J2 option came out mid-year and cost a whopping $83.00. It was 371c.i.Rocket V8---!0 to 1 compression 300 horsepower.
A second J2 option was offered on a limited basis to drag and stock car racers for$395.00.It was not recomended for street use.
I doubt that this one came with a warranty.

The only six-pack carburator setup that I have ever heard of was on Chrysler products.
