I had built a Cross Ram 401 for a fellow a couple years ago for his Rambler project. All the wrong parts but worked out really well. Now he wants to build a old time Street Rod with three deuces on a 401 to put in a Hudson Coupe. So I talked Stickshifter into machining a top plate and Mellowyellow74 into welding it all together. It started life as a dual quad Offy. IMG_5870 by Rick Jones, on Flickr Offy3x2 2 by Rick Jones, on Flickr Offy3x2 1 by Rick Jones, on Flickr I will add more pictures as we work on it.

I can't believe you hacked up a perfectly good "show only" manifold, to Frankenstein it into something that might actually perform better!

Oh we are not looking for any type of performance here. We are going for Old Skool Kool with a capital K. 3x2 by Rick Jones, on Flickr

Awe Man, I'da used 3 Holleys, a Mopar Six Pack air cleaner, painted the motor Blowpar Orange and slapped a 440 Six Pack sticker on it and made em all scratch their heads, since both have a leaning "dizzy" on the front.

True. I'm just Mental Masturbating like a lot do. I do have a 4144 centerboard Holley and a chrome lid tho. Have regular Holley 2bbls collected to mod for Outboards for a Six Pack for the Wife's 440 Cuda.

I've long held that the cool factor of 3X2 is worth the performance loss on a street car.

Properly set up, it's not a performance loss. Nice way to get the CFM without running a huge primary carb, like a Dominator.
but that is the problem. Most guys can't tune one carb in right, 3 and getting them in sinc..... well..... That's real bad. lol

I know of a green car that one of those would look cool on.

I think the billet lid needs sand blasting to blend the appearance with the manifold. Too much modern bling for old skool kool. Otherwise, nice job!

Joe, took the words outta my mouth. Hit it with a little brown then a shit coat of AMC green so it looks like rust breaking through on a 50 year old paint job.
