Ok, I got this crazy idea since evening, how good is the idea of making 2 intake manifolds, this manifolds will carry a single bbl carb and will feed the 3 front cylinders and the other to feed the remaining cylinders. What do you think?

Ok SSDan but cost, shipping and taxes to get a manifold to me here in Mexico makes a total amount of 600 dollars, thats a hell of a lot money here, for that amount I can paint my whole car and get new seats and new audio.

So I will take your answer as a yes.

I believe one plenum manifold might work better since you will need some form of heat for street use. I'm in the process of making one now using some old existing intakes. I will use water heat at the bottom of the plenum.

So where did you put the 2nd fuel tank for the premium (or is it 2nd & 3rd so each carb gets a tank)

And how badly does it run when only 1 of the fuel tanks runs out of gas??????????

What size of pipe is being used in that manifold?
