    I'm searching for a triple carb set up for my 239 straight six. I know Offenhauser makes a kit for the chevy flatty but i can't find anything for the pontiac. And unfortunatly this engine was only used in pontiacs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also trying to find an overdrive for her but I don't know what tranny is in it other than a 3 speed on the column.

    I recomend learning to weld. It will be faster, cheaper and more instructive.

    I haven't had much luck finding speed parts for my 239 - it seems until you have one, no one knows they even exist. If you find stuff, let me know.

    As for the overdrive, I did the swap to T5 tranny, open drive and Blazer rear axle swap - works great - tons of info here on the HAMB.

    Good luck !!!

    I've seen 2 carb intakes come up every now and than, never a 3 carb intake. Your better off as mentioned building your own. If you get the trans adapter from Bentsens that will give you alot more options on trans choices.

    Yes. I think it is the logical answer.
