    Thanks for the info hook up Biz. As for the manifold, it's a Weiand WC56 6x2 for Mopar B and RB engines.

    Also, Biz, you'll never need more of an introduction. You're one of a kind daddy-oh. :)

    Thanks for the info!!!
    I'm a BB Mopar fan, yet have never seen a 6x2 intake for one(that wasn't homemade).....must be somewhat rare.....you say B and RB...so it's a log manifold then with rubber hose between I take it......cool....
    I'll add that to my 'list' of stuff to look for...hahaha!!!
    The Essex is one killer ride....

    Edelbrock made one to, but I don't have the part number any more. They both only made them for a couple of years.

    Thanks for the comment. The "A" you're refering to is actually an Essex Coach. Glad you really liked the display. It was alot of work, but worth it to get comments from people who enjoyed it.
