    All bets are off.

    Just pulled the intake off the 318 in the Road Ruster.  I happened to sneak a peek at the top side of the bellhousing and guess what's written in yellow paint ?  72 Duster 318.  Looks like that answer's the question of matching #'s.  Looks like the 440-6 might get broken in a little early. ;)  Soon as the body on the Challenger is done, I can put it where it belongs.  Hehe can you smell that rice a cookin ? ;D

    I wasn't too hopeful that it was numbers matching, I plan on pretty much driving it.  LB and I have a race scheduled when he gets his 6 popper roaring.  I figure 6 barrels vs. 6 cylinders would be even.  ;)

    Hehe,

    Oh yeah!! We're still on PG!!!! ;D ;D

    DF, it's funny you mention that, as there IS a 6bbl intake for a slant six... it's a custom Offenhauser aluminum intake... 3-2bbl carbs... pulls like 900 cfm if I've read correctly.... a slant six racer just north of me actually owns it and plans to put it on his car... I'll have to see if I can get a pic of it sometime!! :o 8) 8)

    my uncle made a 4bbl tunnel ram intake (i think thats what he called it ::)) for a slant six...i'm sure if your "good" you could probably hook up a dual 4 set up and run two thermo quads or eldy's since they run by how much air its sucking in...

    There was a factory ram manifold w/ 4 bl carb in early 60s.  Holman -Moody shop out of Charlotte, NC took a '60 or '61 Valiant to Daytona & ran 145mph w/ a "stock" slant 6 w/ this set up.  They did do a good fine tune job on it, but it was w/ factory supplied & available to public eqpt.  There was a guy down home (Altavista, Va) who had a '61 Dodge Lancer (a Valiant w/ a little diff fenders, trim etc) w/ ram man & 4bl w/ 3 spd in floor.  It is my understanding he dusted off quite a few V8 cars around town before folks found out not to mess w/ him.   Ovmf

    Mike, can your engine take a triple webber set-up?  ??? There's one down here for sale on www.trademe.co.nz just enter Mopar as a search.
    Cheap to I think, half the price you see and that's roughly what you'll be paying.  :D

    Shipping may bite, but you'll probably still pay less as there cheap as down here and common........ ;D
