    I have never seen one but would like one for a upcoming motor swap,and I'm not to sure they ever made one since everybody just used 4 barrel manifolds. I would like something with a bit of distance between the carbs for some early air cleaners I have, the other thing would be is to take a 3x2 manifold and mill the center carb mount out and fill the hole.

    Look up the "roach rod" in the search box...the guy who built that welded up a very vintage looking 2X2 starting with a common 4 barrel. It was properly space, not just carbs hovering over the 4-barrel pad. He did a tech on the conversion.

    Nicson made one in '55-'56, but you'll probably never see one.

    Thanks, I found the picture from the Roach Rod and that is the basic idea I'm looking at but need to space them a bit further then that, I have an old Creitz 2x4 that would probably be the easiest to modify, I'm trying to make this a fairly quick motor swap time wise since I never work on the projects I should be.

    You can buy block-off plates for the centre carb on a 3x2 manifold to run it as a 2x2.

    Here's one http://www.thehotrodcompany.com/shopnow/show_item.asp?product_id=obt001

    Offy make one as well.

    If you have a 2x4, you could just use adaptors to run 2 barrels on it.

    I wouldn't butcher a Creitz intake to do it - they are fairly rare.

    those creitz are fairly rare.....and were built off of a multi fit platform....seems like the same style intake was for blowers , 2x4 and i think 3x2's...... brandon
