"Er...no, try again. The stock setup gives each cylinder "one sixth" or "one third" of a barrel, depending on if it's a 1bbl or a 2bbl carburetor."

Er... no, try again. The stock setup gives each cylinder one barrel, in rotation. Unless you have one of those rare motors with all 6 cylinders at TDC and on intake at the same time?
Perhaps a bit of reading about motors etc. might help.

Thanks, I think it might work as well! Just make the BBD's come in at full throthle when you step on it, a little fabrication required, but I'm thinking it would be a strange but very cool project

A very fast but yet economical vehicle, according to the mood you're in

funny, panic! don't be too hard on him.

by the way, why does someone said that the three pieces HAS to be conected? what about the old mopar dual 1 bbl intake? it was 123 - 456 with no connection between them. With this way of thinking, maybe dual ex would never saw the light

Actually, using 3 BBD's on this manifold may NOT be enough! Hard as it is to believe, isolated runner manifolds like this need more carburation than a common plenum. With a plenum, the carb sees continuous vacuum, which keeps air moving in part from its own inertia. Individual runners only see vacuum when the intake valve is open, allowing the air flow to slow when the valve is closed. When the valve opens again, the air has to accelerate in response to the new vacuum signal. A higher flowing carb poses less resistriction to the airflow, allowing it to accelerate more readily.

As an example, I have the 6-79 issue of Popular Hotrodding, which featured a 230-I6 powered 'Vette running 3 (yes, 3) Holley 4-bbls, mounted on an iso-runner manifold. It was a radical engine, but illustrates my point. I gotta say, that was a cool looking engine

only thing i gots to say about that is HWY - 1, City - 0

that is gasmilage for those of you that didnt pick it up :p

Buddy......
I would LOVE to see a picture of that engine if at all possible.
