    I don't have pictures, but several years ago I helped a buddy install nearly the same type of manifolds on a 240Z. It used triple 36dgv Weber 2bbl carbs. Each of the carbs was connected to the other with a "balance tube". This tube was simply a 1/2" hose running between the manifolds.

    The whole purpose of the tube was to help with idle. getting three carbs "perfectly" synched is nearly impossible, but you can get them darn close. The balance tube helps even it all out. At higher speeds, it's too small to do much.
     
  2. I probably wouldn't heat 'em. I block the heat risers on my intakes and run 'em summer and winter. It takes a bit to warm up but the only time I've ever had a problem is when I had water in the gas.

    But other than that it looks like you got it worked out to me.

    I know a guy that does 3D modeling if you decide to go that route.

    burger just turned me on to this style hose. It looks like what I had going on in my head for the heat connections. Pretty cool fittings.

    thinking out loud... a flush mount plug that can twist in with an allen wrench could be the solution for people that don't want to use heat.

    Heres a 3D model of it for ya. I didnt know the dimensions so I guessed to make it look some what as you depicted. Need any more, I will be glad to do them all for ya in my spare time. Just send me dimensions.
