for those of you attempting your first super 6 install, here' the pictures of mine. I have since gone through this process three times and now its sort of second nature. the hardest part was finding all the necessary parts. Which is why the article posted else where on this site was so helpful. The most challenging part of the mechanical operation is accessing a few of the triangular washers holding the manifolds in place. They are way back in there! But where there's a will, there's a way. You can do it.

note the original choke orientation in relation to how the new BBD choke will orient

I cut the exhaust with a sawsall. Made it easier to get the exhaust manifold off.

with both exhaust and intake manifolds off, this is what it looks like

The dutra dual exhaust set up is a left side manifold he created and the right half of an old exhaust manifold. A weld is put in place to seal where it was cut in half. The new Super six intake manifold bolts to the old part of the exhaust manifold, same as before. There is a gasket between the two which I gooped with hi-temp sealent. Also note the thick gasket were the manifolds meet the block. Helps avoid first time leaks.

I had a problem bolting the two manifolds together because the exhaust bolt hole and the intake bolt hole were slightly off center. When I started to tighten the bolt, it cracked
the casting which you can see in the pic. I thus ran a smaller bolt through the two manifolds and tightened it up with a washer and nut. JB WELD has held the crack together

kickdown linkage connected to carb. note that I still needed to block off
the two EGR holes in the intake manifold.
