6x2 Carb Set Ups - Pics and Information?? - who made them?

I was going to ask you about the set up on your truck. What type of intake is it??? and what's in the motor?

Straight linkage and it runs good!!! Nice!!! When you "punch it" does it give you the same effect of secondaries opening up or is it more of a "smooth" acceleration?

 

What size of powervalves are you running in the 94's??

 

there's some serious motor porn in here. fuckin' a... nice pix and info, thanks for the good read.

 

I like this thread as searching for 6x2 info was what lead me to the hamb in the first place. I have a wieand dragstar for a sbc with 6 holley 2100 carbs on it. All carbs are hooked up. I bought it cause I thought it was just too damn cool. I recently bought a car to go with it.
Heres a pic (bigger version of avatar)

 

Here's another style blower top from an Aussie Truck.

 

Some of the bolt holes are inside the intake. You can just see 1 bolt hole under the carb base. Edelbrock used a long bolt. Socket head cap screws work well. (allen wrench)

 

here is my set up

 

thats the same intake i do have and i used a regular bolt and used a distributor wrench

 

here is a shot of flips 55 with a 6x2 setup. . Most people like the look of them Staggered better. I like them either way..

Its a ton of work to make a blower tops . I have made a couple by hand.
I realized it was better to make a mold and cast them in the end. Especially with the price of aluminum..

don't know what it's worth but i think its an old edlebrock crossram.

 

Eelco made a 6-71 intake with a removable top.
The last one they had sold on Ebay a few weeks ago but Im sure theres some floating around that you can keep an eye out for.
They alluded to the fact that they would be making different tops for it in the future for different carb setups.
It sold for $329.99...found the link to it.

The intake is just your basic Offenhauser, the engine is less than mild, its a 327 bored .030, 10.34 compression, real small Isky stick, .464 lift with .221 dur. @ .050 on a 108 centerline. Stock camel hump heads 2.02 / 1.60 valves. I did not even gasket match the heads or intake, I plan on doing that this winter, she is in need of a rebuild, its short life has been brutal, but still running strong. I also run the plain jane msd box with it, I think it helps burn the fuel better..................................When you punch it.it just goes, it does not feel like it has vacuum secondaries at all, it is very responsive......it marches hard....Littleman

 

I blocked all six power valves, people will argue about too block or not to block...............I blocked them, saw no pupose to try them unless I could not get it to work without them.......................the time slips I have do not lie................then again I have no idea what I am doing, I just try my best....Littleman

 

`OK DOES ANYONE MAKE ONE FOR A 350 SBC WITH vortex HEADS??
Thanks Dave
I would love a 6 by 2

 

yeah i was told edlebrock you can find them on summit for like 300 and some change

 

Can you give me a link to a 6X2 i cant find it on summit or any where for Vortex heads

 

Offy Intake???

 

its an edelbrock ml intake

 

Got any close up shots??

 

Here's an Offenhauser set up l have and l took some pics for you when l run them l use the center 2 for primaries and the out side 4 for the secondary.
As for the power valve thing l usually put in 3.5 in.
l have run a few setups with good success.
l have a few different 6 carb setups and l also have the one from EELCO for the 671 that lm building right now for my A.
Some times l even end up making my own linkage's up.
But half the time its easier to buy the linkage from EELCO.













l have to still go through the carb's before l can use them, so l will install longer throttle shafts in carb base's when l redo the 97's
This is a setup lm using right now on my 27 Roadster pickup its a 4x2 setup with 4 Holley 94's. lm really happy how this setup works on the small block l made up the progressive linkage up out of a few old sets l had kicking around and added a couple of rods.

 

Just think about it my friend.
Look at the lay out of the intake and its runners
The front two are the primaries and the back two are the secondaries...

 

Ok l dug up some photos when l was still trying to get the linkage setup happening, before it was just about l finished.
Here is a side view of the linkage.

 

ok I see you used a regular 4x2 Crossram and put something like the "Vintage Speed" adaptors on it. That is really cool - I like it!!!

I was thinking it was more like a "Man-a-fre" SetUp - which if you ran it progressively it would seem to be "unbalanced"

Nice Work!!

 

here is 1 one i just took

 

If your interested in my x-1 then send me an e-mail at DATPACKRAT@YAHOO.COM
Its in mint shape and was polished back in the day...
From what i was told it ran on a old altered in Cali...

 

had to dig this one back up - way too many cool pictures in it to let it get lost just yet

 

God, I love the 8 x 2's on the blower.....way cool.

 

Good call! I would of thought more people would have a 6x2 setup. Maybe we should start seeing some 8x2 pictures...

 

Thanks guys - great pics and information.

Anybody got more Pictures???
