Thanks for the info & links. Decisions, decisions, I used to own a Datsun 510 and always wanted the side draft setup for that. Maybe I am just hoping to fill that void vicariously thru my valiant.

Besides the ones made by clifford? Am I the only one that has drool on my keyboard every time I see a picture of that one? It seems to be an ideal set up if things are dialed in correctly, just curious as to why there is not more options on this route out there or rather my lack of search skills. I'm just assuming for the time that it is the $$$ involved in carburetors for the scarcity of this type of intake. |

There've been at least three different intakes (Warneford, Cain, Lynx) for triple SU, Hitachi, or Zenith-Stromberg carbs. Photos here. I might still have one of these, can't remember if I sold-off two or all three I had. The Lynx is still in production. Note the triple-carb intake Clifford sell isn't theirs. They buy it & sell it on. The maker is Redline Performance in Australia (and I think the one Redline offer is the Cain design. And the Pierce item Josh links to looks like a different (non-Redline) manifold, though it's difficult to say for sure from the photos. See here, here, here, and there are some more pictures of various slant-6 intakes here. |

Or you could make one. I made mine from steel I couldnt afford webers and such so i wound up with single side draft tilotsons. Works good. Set up was not too bad. seemed hopelssat first but once i got it close it came arond quickly. If you dontwant to make it yourself. you could make a wooden moel using 3 inch strapping for the flanges and dowel or 2 x2 (which isnt really 2inch anyway.) Then take it to a fabricaterand say please make that inmaluminumi or steel for me. might not cost that much . |

My friend and I were even talking about six single intakes with motorcycle carbs  I have thought of making some, I like your idea of a wooden mock-up that's pretty clever. |
