Triple quad intake manifold

Anyone ever seen one?
I swear I saw a cast one once on a show car in the late 60's.
My older brother used to take me to the Rod and Custom show at the International Ampitheater in Chicago and I swear I recall seeing one.
3 inline AFB's I think.
One 430 Lincoln motor maybe?
Manafree or Eelco?
It was cast for sure, not a sheet metal deal.

Anyone else or is my imagination running wild.

 

Somebody had a pic on here of a mopar crossram running 4 afb's......

 

There was a cast triple 4BBL adaptor plate for a 6-71 blower. Moonkist from Jersee had one on it.

I think I saw a photo of one posted either on here or another site about a year or so ago so I think there was one made but I don't recall what engine it was for.

 

BigFoot truck had 3 Predators on a 6-71 BBF back in the 80's when monster trucks were cool.

 

Never seen a triple but a buddy built a four quad intake for a big block Olds. Used four Quadrajet carbs. Had one intake plenum for each cylinder. It would wind up so fast it was unbeliveable. Sounded real wicked at low rpm. Give it gas and it was over 5 grand immediately, just wouldn't run well past that. He called it the "QuadQuad". Might find it if you google that.

 

Someone posted a pic a while back of a FE V-12 SOHC with 3 Holley 4's on it...
Sorry! Don't have the picture... It sure looked neat!!

 

I saw one in a magazine in the 90's that someone made for a 66 GTO.

 

guy at the hot rod reunion a few years back had a 63-65 fairlane with a 302 i think???? had a quad 4 barrel on it. marine intake. had 4 600s holleys. beautiful car!! from new jersey. also at the swap meet in l'ville at the nats the guy that always has all the intakes had a 3-4barrel intake for a AMC of all things

 

that seems like alot of carb for a 302,2400 cfm

 

I can't imagine it has much to do with run ability?? More of a WOW! factor... I wonder if it could be jeted down far enough to actually work.

 

Don't forget the two paxtons pushing air in...plus nitrous. Its got 427 badges and AFX427 on the license plate.

 

A guy I knew told me the Munster Koach had 10 four barrel carbs. He said he saw it in TV Guide,so it had to be true..

 

Gas,gas,gas,gas....air maybe. Repeat

 

Flipper I sure as hell am not showing those photos to my buddy. He is dreaming up a 3 quad intake for a big block Chevy based on the bottom half of a tunnel ram.

 

Holy Moly Bulwinkle, is that F*CKING COOL or what?

 

The closer I look at that Fairlane, the more I am convinced that the quad 4 intake top was made and bolted on to a Shelby Ram Box lower.
Not too hard to do if you have a Shelby Ram Box.
Still very cool deal. Talk about overkill.

 

FWIW, one of the '50s Ferrari V12s came with three Weber 4-bbls.

Lot's of Ferrari's all through the 50's into the early 70's came with 3 or 4 Webers.

 

As cool as this sounds and all, umm... how actually usable would a setup like this be on anything other than a monster engine?

 

Maybe looks cool to some,but got be over carbed for most motors

 

Looks like 6 deuces to me, not 3 quads.

 

Here is a 3 quad adapter.

Randy Bianchi built Moonkist, which had three Carter AFBs:

 

It's been upgraded since the link in post #3. Same car, different manifold. Those are six stacks:

 

Mopar 426 4x4 Max wedge. IU can't recall what engine the 5bl intake was installed on

 

Nice, but those are 5 deuces!

 

I think Barney Navarro was mentioned in Popular Hot Rodding years ago as having something to do with that 4 Carter Mopar big block manifold. And the five Rochester manifold was an Oldsmobile experiment.
