After a quick MasterCam layout it is obvious that on small chassis cars you would have problems with the wiper motor AND you would have to get very creative about the air filter assemblies. Using the dual 4bbl manifold is preferred as it is structurally stronger making it easier to attach the adapter plate. |

Having no 2300 carbs or Offy manifolds to use as a pattern at this time it appears you would have to use the special "300-521 Tri-power package" Carbs to make them fit. |

Back in the day Offenhauser offered a 6-Barrel Lid for their Chevrolet CrossRam Intake Manifold...

While very cool looking I am sure it suffered horribly from proper fuel distribution with that setup. Tom

Looks cool usually rules!
You can make a 6V set-up for an AMC but it will cost about 3 X the cost of two carters on an Offy. But bling does sell... |

While not the easiest or most cost effective, but in my opinion the coolest way to get a factory look 3 x 2 intake for an AMC is the use an AMC Air Gap base and buy an Edelbrock 383 DP6B intake like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-383-400-SIX-PACK-INTAKE-MANIFOLD-3X2-DODGE-CHRYSLER-MOPAR-EDELBROCK-DP6B/232967854176?epid=7024850159&hash=item363df75860:g:7lUAAOSwvO5bxUse:rk:1:pf:1&vxp=mtr&frcectupt=true
Cut them both apart and graft it together. The plus side of doing it with this intake is you can buy carbs, linkage, and air cleaners off the shelf and if time and care is taken it will look like a factory 401 6V intake. If I wanted a 6-pack setup this is the way I would do it. Tom

Like I said....
Cost is no barrier if you gotta have it. And I like the idea! Grafting the manifold on is easy, machining and welding or screwing so it does not leak air or water is the hard part. But the cool factor is un deniable....:-) |

Not sure if this was mentioned but Hogan will make any manifold you want.

FYI: None of your links are correct. When you past a URL into the hyperlink box you must delete the second http:// or it will not work. Tom
