Man was I surprised to see this old thread back alive. I forgot I even started it.

Maddog, to answer your question, Mike's excellent Rochester 2 G thread is here:

Tri-Power Carbs build.

I saved it because I intend on using the info when I do the 3 carbs on my Olds 394.

Never seen this thread before Don but i fitted one of those intakes to a DeSoto hemi, they are nicely made intakes

Steve,,is that one of PWs WHEKE intakes from down here??looks like it..I will be seeing Peter this weekend[I hope],as we are going to an annual Mid Winter swap meet etc,,and he is hoping to be there..I will ask him if he has any plans for other units,as I think they will sell well,moreso up there than down here,as we havent managed to get too many of those little hemis out from under you guys yet....Will let you know more next week..

Yes i believe so Robin, The top is separate so can be changed for a number of configurations, nice bit of kit.

From what I understand there are two Desoto blocks, one is a high deck and the other a low deck. I think those manifolds fit the high deck but Don has the low deck model. I could be wrong on that, but that is how I recall it.

Vintage Speed makes an intake for the low deck models, I believe. I'm out of my element here, I have never played with one of these, but Don will know which he has.

Yes,Don..These are for the high deck block..I think he also does Rocker covers too..By now,the new top section to suit the blower should be done..I will find out on Sunday about his developments..and also find out if he is gunna do a low block version,as he has a few guys down here with them,,including Noddy Watts,of Beach Hop,,who has just brought one in.
Steve,I think he has three different configurations for the top,four,when the wheezer one is done..

Techinspector- That 36 Plymouth is beautiful. What a car. I still have the hemi waiting for something! Don Jr.

Sorry, having trouble posting replies, it keeps saying "you dont have permission to perform this operation" What the hell????? It keeps making me log in again, very frusterating


Pops, I have a 1955 low deck 291 engine. Hopefully this will post. Don Jr.

Didnt see PW and his intake..will catch up with him somewhere and see if he is gunna do a low deck version..
