This is a manifold I just did for a friend.

Ls1 going in a 50 Ford woody.
Wanted the new motor but not to look like one. We are keeping all the factory cumputer/injection functional but using 6 rochesters on it for the TB's.



This is a picture of it in my project. Not going there but had to stick it in there for a pic.

You got to be shitten me, get out of here........

I have seen it all...... I like "6 duece" has a nice ring to it....

Goodluck

That win's the stellar award on looks alone. Hopefully it runs as good as it looks.

How cool is that? Love it! Are you going to use all 6 for throttle bodies or just two of them and have the others be just for show?

Wow man, more amazing work. There seems to be a lot of interest in sheetmetal intakes with that kind of quality, if youve got time to work on that sort of thing

In for more pics.

WOW THATS HOT

Looks great, nice work.

Will use all 6, if for no other reason than I hate "fake". Probably have to set up the linkage so they will only open maybe halfway at full pedal. Otherwise at the pedal will be too sensitive and the motor will be flowing its full potential at only 1/4 throttle.

This is only the second sheet metal intake I have done. But I really enjoy them and have plans for more. Including the one going on my lsx project. Will have a intercooler built in and two 90mm tbs on it.

That is too damn cool. Being EFI will make it much easier to tune.

I have a set of 2 barrel Webers with progressive linkage. I wonder if there is some way to modify the Rochesters to get the outer barrels to open after the inners.

Eddie2011

Anything is possible, but it would be tricky. Have to split the shaft in the middle, then build linkage to both sides. It really isn't necessary anyway since all of the ramp can be built into the linkage before getting to the carbs. I have a pretty cool progressive slope linkage assembly that I machine that solves this problem.

It really comes down to total cfm. The motor is only capable of flowing "X" which is essentially where your full throttle will be regardless of where the butterflys are at. So thats where I make the butterflys sit when the pedal is all the way down. Then I use my custom linkage to solve the problem of too much air too quick on the low end.

But without the injection yes your idea would be a possible solution if you wanted to try to run all 6 carbs straight up.
