Default Tri-Power 4-cylinder?

I was looking at the Offenhauser catalog (which hasn't changed much over the years), and noticed that they have a 3-2 manifold for the Tempest-4. I think it would be cool to run a Tri-Power Tempest! I had never given it much thought, but I suppose it's nothing but half of one their 6-2 Pontiac manifolds.

Been looking for one for years, never have look at one them up close. I have half of a Offie log, just need carbs and linkages. Anyone know where I can get small pattern 4 bolt (2G) carbs? Always throught the 62 would look good with trips.

I have used some Cheby carbs for Tri-Power center carbs on some non show cars I have had. The carbs off the early cars and some later trucks have the small bolt pattern. Like the old 283 & 327 and some 350's in trucks. Also have use the 425E carbs to. I'll look and see what I have left...if any.
Check some Cheby sites and e-rape...

I picked up one of those Offy manifolds a while back and am also hoping to round up the carbs & put together a 4-4-3-2, or would that be a 4-3-2-4

Jusjay, out of all the carbs I have theres only one small bolt job but its in great shape. Its not rusted fast. Its complete and in re-buildable condition. Its a shame you cant use the larger ones theres at least a dozen of those. Scott.
