When i did my searching on hme build type intakes i found some weird ones. Everyone has a different idea of what he wants.
And on many different brands of engines. Seems like there are some people that wants that old school look and more carbs.

Some time ago an oldtimer gave me some old hotrod mags from the late sixties and seventies. And i saw a guy that dragged with a heavily modified 230 inline chevy 6. He had 3 4bbl holley carbs on turned so that primaries towards engine. As like he gave every cyl its own primary and secondary.
Cant remember the dates. Wil go look for it next time im at the storage container.

Jack, is that going to be a street engine? I messed around around with GMC and Chevy inline for quite a while and found for street use,even in moderate weather, a coolant heated intake makes for a much better runner around town...By better I mean the ability to use leaner jetting and sharp part throttle response..Of course at the risk of reducing power a touch and possible detonation...But that's a nice looking intake you made and hate to mess it up with plumbing..
