Howdy Folks - As some may know my father Eddy Kingsbury and George Asche along with myself and a buddy developed a triple carb intake for the Canadian 25 1/2" big block flatheads. We used the 50's triple that Eddy Edmunds produced and dramatically improved the flow of the intake as well as made a number of changes to the design. We did so not so much for commerical purposes but for use on our rear engine dragster and a couple of personal projects. I put the setup on my 1949 plymouth business coupe (sporting a modified 265 ci motor) and am currently getting ready to put it on a 1956 Fargo pickup. If you want to see it in action on my car or the dragster I have uploaded a view video's on youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8y7yB5J7YNWI2Rnnvn8rig But the reason for my post is to gauge if there is interest in making a dual carb setup that could be used on not only cars, but trucks and older cars. The big difference as I am sure you guys know is the tabs on the outside of the intake for mounting linkage. That is something the edmunds, offy or other intakes dont have. It would be for the USA small block engines. We bascially already have all the research and testing done when we created our triple for the big block. We have had a number of car guys who are unhappy with the performance of the offy's (lots of rev but looses torque over stock) and who are seeing huge prices for vintage edmunds intakes ask us to consider making a dual carb setup. We also know with lots of our triples out there to confirm our triple is outperforming the super rare edmunds triple, so we are confident a dual carb setup would outperform any similar intake ever produced. Our big advantage is not only is there better flow testing instrumentation available today, but foam core casting just allows for a product that could not have been made in the 40's-60's when all of the dual carb intakes were designed. Right now it is looking like an AoK dual carb intake, machined, with the truck linkage tab(s) drilled and tapped are likely going to retail for $400-$425 Is there any interest from the flathead truck world ? Thanks for your time and any input is appreciated Tim Kingbury and George Asche
