classiccarjack Posted May 24, 2018 Report Posted May 24, 2018 I want to see this thing in action. It looks amazing. If you were to build a radical six, like the Montana boys for example, perhaps this would be beneficial.... Life is full of risks, sometimes you just got to go for it. Trial and error is what makes things better.... I own AOK manifolds, and am going to use them. But if I build one more project, I will need an option. Offenhouser Manifold doesn't suit well with me, and buying a welded up broken Edmunds from eBay doesn't seem the way to go either.... I totally like it that there is one more guy out there trying to help us make a Flathead go! 1 Quote
JPetrakis66 Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Posted May 24, 2018 Thanks Guys Just enjoying the feedback and R&D and yes we love these old engines ...cant hurt having a little fun with a bit of Art and a little bit of performance The background behind the development of the manifolds was a result of two brother over a few beers waging each other who would go faster...one with a 23 inch and the other with a 25 inch block ...no radical engine builds....carb/cam/exhaust/intake manifold combos allowed BUT...needed to be done tastefully...no 9 inch grinder with welded hacked manifolds. One of the brothers is an Senior Engineer... AUTOCAD/CASTING/Modelling ...bla blah blah....Vs the other brother who is a car guy engine builder with plenty of run/ blown/build experience R&D the grass roots way Fun and games .....:)...Will post some of the other items soon that will be tested 1 1 Quote

Size cfm under what you think you need . CFM = ci x rpm /3456 = CFM @ 100% unless highly modified you want to be about 80% . Quote

JPetrakis66 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Report Posted May 30, 2018 Hi Guys Just an update . Completed my 23" single barrel manifolds to suit B&B today ...Looking awesome and incorporated some of the feedback like leaving bosses to make it easier for the linkage setups. Here is a couple of pics. Next is the 25" setups. Like always Feedback Welcomed...... 3 Quote
Silverdome Posted July 19, 2018 Report Posted July 19, 2018 Any updates? That manifold above looks great. Quote
JPetrakis66 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) Just completed my 25' manifolds in both triple and dual carb to suit Stromberg 97s. I also made up some risers to play around with too Next stage to bolt them up and have a play on both of my 1940 Windsors. These are for double barrel, but will be making also for single barrel ( dual and triple). Also will make the 23 inch versions ...need them for my D5 and D24!!

Ajgkirkwood Posted September 21, 2018 Report Posted September 21, 2018 First off.... omfg another 1940 Chrysler! Jealous that you can cast and make those! i made my own triple carb set up. Slowly getting it when I have he time. I think it’s running to rich so I need to jet down and there’s almost something like a power valve in the carbs. I’m using 3 carter bb. With how my set up is that they are all in line. Its not a progressive setup. All 3 carbs are connected together and open all together. I have a plenum under the carbs but each runner kinda has a carb dedicated to its own port. The picture included is when the carbs Arne were being mocked up. She’s back in the road and I’m enjoying the car. I don’t think I have a picture of with all back together with the tri carb set up, weird that I didn’t take a pic Quote
FlashBuddy Posted December 5, 2018 Report Posted December 5, 2018 That gold head is fantastic. Lovin' that. I may have to steal this great idea. Oh, the triple carbs are cool, but are they better than two carbs? Quote

Oh, the triple carbs are cool, but are they better than two carbs? Thank you. I was looking for more of a champagne gold color, but happy with the overall outcome. Thanks. To be honest with you Ive been reading and there are opinions. George Asch and company sold me on the idea that the triple single will work best. Its also a 'cool' factor. lol Quote
FlashBuddy Posted December 5, 2018 Report Posted December 5, 2018 Oh yeah, it is definitely cool in my book. Don't hold back! 1 Quote

Adam H P15 D30 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Your manifolds look top notch! Much better than the others out there... Edited December 6, 2018 by Adam H P15 D30 Quote
40Club Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 Just finished ceramic coating my triple 2 for my 265 with 32/36 Spanish Weber progressive 2 barrels from Red line Quote
normanpitkin Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 The only hard part on mine was getting the kick down to work ,with the original carb in the centre ,there isn't enough vacuum for the kick down to work ,so put in a switch ,like a shift right to make the car shift down from 4th to third .Works perfectly Quote
The Oil Soup Posted December 8, 2018 Report Posted December 8, 2018 Does anyone have experience with this carb it looks like a bnb but has an adjustable main jet. https://daytonaparts.com/universal-replacement-carburetor.html Quote
