Smallblock Manifold Hunt
I'm looking for a trio (3-2-barrels) manifold for my 327. Any of you guys have one laying around you would consider selling.

Re: Smallblock Manifold Hunt (mengbar)
Just a thought...but you might want to post this in the "parts wanted" section of both the C3 and C2 sections. MIGHT get better results :)

Re: Smallblock Manifold Hunt (Fevre)
Fevre: Good search....but I suspect the guy wants to pay LESS than $250 for a manifold. He's better off on E-Bay. By the time he adds on 3 carbs and the linkage, it'll cost MORE than a cross ram and be less effective than a single 4bbl. But what the heck....I like deuces too....very :cool: :cool: :cool:

Re: Smallblock Manifold Hunt (Dep)
DEP - nope could not make it. One thing lead to another and had people in the house sick. Kind of crude to walk out on them. Oh well next, spring
Hey the Edelbrock 3 x 2's is a good one. But you may get a whole package on ebay or check out some of the "rod" sites for sales. Also, pick up a copy of Street Rodder magazine - lots of adds.

Funny you should ask, I have an original Venus-Fenton tri-power system for a small block that I'm looking to sell. Complete, but not cheap though! Email if interested.

Re: Smallblock Manifold Hunt (Dep)
I need a host!!! How do I post the pics I have on my computer to display here? (Yes, I suck at the internet!)
It looks very similar to the E'brock one, but the outside finish of the alum. is very smooth, but not polished. Very nice piece. It is vintage, so it's not cheap, but it's definitely different!
The Fenton name is virtually hallowed in HotRod circles, especially their lightweight, strong exhaust manifolds. I think this intake was part of a very small production run for SBC, and not pursued.
The couple of pics I have show it to be very dirty, but I will be cleaning it up before sale! (I have to get it off the car first though!)

Re: Smallblock Manifold Hunt (73sbvert)
If anybody is really interested though, I'll email pics of the setup.
It has a cheezy fabricated air cleaner on it right now from PO, and it works, but...
If really interested in buying, I can get more detailed pics to send as well.
Thanks,
Paul

Re: Smallblock Manifold Hunt (mengbar)
Hey guys thanks for all the feedback. I drove home to visit the folks for Thanksgiving and ran into a few old buddies. One of my frinds had a older Offy setup with carbs for sale ($200...complete).
I'll start polishing the intake tonight and rebuilding the carbs this weekend. Thanks for all the good feedback.

Re: Smallblock Manifold Hunt (mengbar)
DOH! Yesterday I spotted an Edelbrock tri-power on E-Bay!!!
But it was minus carbs and needed some helicoil work on the threads.
The helicoil stuff is no biggie but finding 3 Rochester 2GV carbs might be a pain. I suspect you got the best deal.

Re: Smallblock Manifold Hunt (Dep)
Here's a link, but it's a different Edelbrock tri-power than the one I saw yesterday:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36474
I still think you got a better deal. There is an Offenhauser tri-power for smallblock going for $900 on E-Bay!!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
It has carbs and air cleaner and looks real pretty, but the price is just INSANE!
