3 carb intake that you've never seen before - 3 holley 1904's for a jeep!

I'm about done with this, it has been a trial i can tell you. The middle carb has idle etc and fabricated choke, the front and rear carbs have no idle but i made accelerator linkages etc for them. The throttle linkage is progressive, the center carbs gets over 1/4 open when the others begin opening, they all come to WOT together.
I am near done with the headers and will start trial fitting on the vehicle today, then i'll add the throttle linkage, pcv stuff, fuel block and lines (at this point i am working on my bench)
This goes on a jeep with a 258" motor.

Well if you can't buy it you got to make it..Let us know how it works out

WOW, that looks great! If it works as good as it looks, you've got it made!

What Jeep is it going on?? Lifted for off-road??

Cool ive always liked the look of many carbs on a in line 6

Very nice work!!! Never one of my favorite engines, but certainly a good stout little unit and sure will look great with tri-power and headers!!!!

Like those clear sight fuel bowls. Did you pressure test the manifold? I had a friend who made one from tubing and although the welds looked good, he did find one or two pinholes that needed to be filled.

Thanks for the kind words guys, i appreciate it.
I haven't pressure tested the intake as yet, i have some additional welding to do and clean up some of the tubing welds before i try to test it. It will be HPC coated and that stuff will seal any lessthan pinholes.
The pics i posted where from when i was celebrating the completion of linkage making. For a couple days i didn't think i could get them to work at all but hardheaddedness prevailed. What i lack in blistering mechanical brilliance i make up for in perserverance.
Heres a couple pics of the intake right after welding. I could have made it like a log style and saved myself a ton of work, but the log style have terrible flow and distribution. I designed this for smooth even flow - the bad part was that it placed the carbs so close to each other that i had to hand make the linkages. If i had to do it over, i would do it the same way.

Back in highschool a friend of mine had a 59 ford six with 3 on tree... we made a 3 carb intake from a stock one with 2 extra flanges. It worked but his dad had a fit.( family car :eek:)

I think it looks just right; in fact, better. Nice work.

A brief update. It is all together and running, it is at the exhaust shop and i thought it would've been back by now.
A major problem is that those holleys don't have throttle springs and the front/rear carbs won't shut proper. I want to take them back apart and get a spring on the shaft if possible rather than an external spring.
All things considered, i am pleased at this point. It acts like it has potential and they just might work really good.

Thanks for the up date
