Must be unique, thats Wes isnt it. Nice guy. I met him a few years back before he got them running. -
Nice setup
But if it's a standard manifold....
Is there a "best" area to cut for inlet area matches?Comment

Quote from Richard Lane
"That looks very much like one of mine but without seeing it I can't be sure.The carbs are not how I would have left them though and they would have been a pair of 28/36 Webers with a very neat throttle bar which opened the rear carb first and then the second choke on the front carb after half throttle.
We began playing around with the manifold and different carbs in about 1992.
I do know that "others" have in the past tended to er, well shall I just say, appreciated my creations by imitation.
I did at least three twin carb manifolds and maybe four, I'm not sure.
But only the one triple with 40 downdraught bodies which I ran on my Triumph engine for a while. It went very well but was very thirsty.
I experimented with split bodies on the 40's.
At the time I re-created a pair of "split" 40's for my friends amazing "Works Replica" Cooper S. That was a hell of a job getting it done without warping the bodies. Still I did get it done. I can probably find some photographs of them.
I had ITG make the filters a bit lower than stock ones so that it fitted under the bonnet. I got very friendly with ITG they had just started up working direct withe public back then and were very helpful to me.
Especially for my Rover 4.5lt motor with the quad downdraught Webers.
They needed ultra thin filters. You can see them in one of the Stag books written by James Taylor.
When we built the 3 carb manifold I used twin choke 40 bodies, very slim and stacked up behind each other very well."Comment

I think he said they were Weber 38 DGMS, and fuel consumption was about as standard. He got the setup already started by someone else, and he said the cuts into the manifold were far from ideal, and could be improved but he wasnt planning to do anything about it.Comment

Two off 2 barrel Webers, or a single 4 barrel Holley or a single 4 barrel Weber, you still have 4 barrels?Originally posted by milothedog View PostHow about two Webber carbs

Dare I say it there's a headertank conversion visible?
TBH I would not want my underbonnet to look like this. For competition purposes then fine. Stagweber single 2DD Weber kooks better but I find performance with original Strombergs amazing anyway and seem to get 23-25 mpg also (Neither I nor wife are light footed!)

Stranger things have been seen on yank V8s. The weirdest one I can recall was triple 2 barrel downdraught carbies. Yes, that's right 6, venturis feeding 8 cylinders on a big block. Factory option too, but not for long.Header tanks - you can't beat a bit of bling.Comment

The "six pack" option was available on the Jensen Interceptor...Comment
