Tri-power Flatty

[Fargone]

I did some mock-up work today, so as promised here's some photos of the tri-power setup with split exhaust.  Tons of thanks go out to Tim Kingsbury and George Asche that made this set up possible. As you can see there is a small hole in the firewall and I've still got more carving to do to clear the rear carb, linkage and air cleaner.

Sexy. 

 

I would very much like to have a dual carb set up someday, but those triples are absolutely bringing the wow.

 

Is that using the stock truck throttle linkage?

The custom linkage was part of the package.  George fabricated the whole works.  I will be using the stock gas pedal and throttle cable, at least that's the plan.

Very cool.  I am jealous.

I changed the air filter setup after some input from Tim. This setup is much less restrictive. It will require some extra work but that's the way things go.

Where did you get those air cleaners?

I thought that linkage looked like George’s. He built the linkage for my dual carb setup.

That is a sweet looking setup! What are the plans for exhaust?

The exhaust is split stock manifolds, if you look close you should see them in the pictures I've posted. I'll be doing dual exhaust not sure what size yet.  I'm guessing something in the 2" - 2 1/4" range nothing too fancy or loud. I want it to rumble, but not be a nuisance to the world.

Sounds like a great plan and will let the tri-power really breathe to give you the rumble your looking for.  Nice setup and I like the newer air filters!
