Barry Grant had a set up like this also (his own manifold and carbs)!

cool thanks! I know he was developing a manifold to feed those Hemi heads! I think I remember a picture of the GM Trans Am Z-28 intake on a Hemi headed engine. Thus we are looking now for a missing link round port intake of some Smokey variation! I will have to look into that! I have an article on a J-56 disc brake Camaro with a Hemi headed small block and I think that showed the heads and intake! Wish I knew were that was, to see if round or square!

This car belongs to Rick George, formerly the owner of Rick's Camaros, and current owner of Classic Headquarters.

I just looked and those Rick guys got the Silver one and put it thru a whole restoration. The yellow one shows up! And will have to spend more time looking later!
I got busy busy this weekend and didn't crack any of the books on these subjects yet!

congratulations... hope it works well on your engine
did it supposedly require any cam/compression/timing modifications in order to develop its potential; or, back in the day, did it just turn out to be eye candy?

Clifton81,
Welcome!
Very cool!
Like Bill, I too would like to know how the driveability with this setup is. More pics of your car AND the build of your small block would really be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jim

Under the front fuel bowl should be a GM part number with a "-0" suffix (or prefix, CRS kicking in).
It was not a factory installed option, so value added to the car is questionable unless there is receipts of documented installation by a dealer or backdoor shop authorized by GM. It is however a nice addition to the engine bay, and will cost well over $1,200 to duplicate with similar carbs on the Edelbrock clone. To a GM collector the set could be worth twice that value, or more (but not $10,000, they did not add that much in performance).
Buyers set the market, but the value is the manifold and carbs, not a unique car (unless you have documentation).
Did you pitch an offer to buy the car?

I can easily believe that someone would buy the car just to get the Tri-power setup. Since the air cleaner is a one of a kind, that's GOT TO bring big $$$$$.

So the next time some guy comes up and says "I knew a guy that had a small block tri-power/3 deuces."
