Default Tri-power setup

Curious as to the cost of the BB rectangular port intake manifold and all three carbs in good condition. Mike

You mean a Tri-Power/ 3 deuce set up? 6 -Pac is often used for Mopars, my other Love.

The setup you are looking for is good condition will run you $2,500-$3,000. Barry Grant offers a direct bolt-on for $2,xxx.

I paid $550 for the intake and carbs. Another $400 to Holley to have them rebuilt. $600 for an aircleaner. Another $100 or so for linkage, springs, clips, etc.

Yeah, I meant the tri-power though I think six pack sounds better.
Those BGs are for small blocks, I don't think he's done anything for the BB yet. Isn't there a vender that sells the tri-powers at Corvettes @ Carisle?

Always lots of Tripowers @Carlisle. Always big bucks by halfway through the first day. You have to be there early like any swapmeet.
For a fully restored Tripower and cleaner could be up to $3,500.
At least thats what they used to bring.
Make sure you get the right manifold. There are 6 different ones and the 67 ones ont fit under a 68/9 hood.

I recently sold a pretty nice setup and spent some time watching what they were going for. Don't be in a hurry, there is a lot a junk out there but if you take your time you can piece a good set together without too much difficulty and remember, if it sounds too good to be true it is

Try hotrodcarbs.com. this guy puts some nice systems together. His waiting list is 6 months. I just ordered a Tri-power on a custom tunnel ram for my son's T-Bucket with a 65 Corvette 327 in it. Expensive but your not getting someone's junk he put together

I thought tri-power was the pontiac term~ nothing beats the sound of the end carbs opening up on one of them. LOL Joe
