55-60 6 x 2 barrel manifold
 
Not mine, just thought someone here might be interested.

That is SO MUCH better looking than the common/ordinary U-fab ones. I'm tempted to bid... just because of the polish job!

Then you could have twice as many carbs on your truck.

Well...
I will be watching the bidding for the next five days.:cool:

I have to admit, Jack, That set-up would look pretty sweet on your truck. No idea how it would run or what exactly you would use for carbs?

It looks like it's drilled for Strombergs, just a guess.

Trust nothing from memory but always thought a "Stromberg 97" flowed about 150 cfm so six would be about 900 (rated as a 2 bbl). Linkage would be interesting.

Jack Gifford 11-03-2021 12:10 AM

Stromberg 97, 48, 94, etc. Used to be other 3-bolt carbs also. Trouble is that I can't grab them for a buck apiece like I did in the fifties.

Looked at it, just down the road a bit, but where for the carbs?

A fellow in England has revived the Stromberg carburetor line and is making all new ones, as well as rebuild kits and arts (he does sell linkage for a 6x2 setup). https://www.stromberg-97.com Otherwise, you have to search swap meets and junkyards for originals.

cfm isn't additive on multiple carb setups so it wouldn't be 900 cfm. DK what it would be as I don't know the formula (if there is one)? Mebby Tom Vaught or Carb King or someone like that does and will chime in. Regardless of what it is that would be a neat looking setup on something with a Pontiac engine in it.

That would look neat as all-get-out on my 57-Poncho

Sold for $225.
