I think that fits the little Falcon six.

I'm too dumb to post a pic, but I'd recommend downloading the exeter PDF catalog if you're interested in all this. Looking at this, the pic on the Summit site looks like the manifold for the 170-200-250 sixes. The Offy part number appears correct for the 215/223 manifold, even though it's listed as a '52-on "223" on all of the sites (including Exeter).

I'm impressed that this manifold even has the plate to bolt-up to the exhaust manifold "carb heat" hocus beneath. Now all you have to do is get all 3 carbs tuned right!!! Are you all just masochists?

If you go three I would seriuosly think about a progressive setup. It would make tuning a bit easier if you didn't have to worry about getting the idle circuit setup correctly. I would also find some literature and read up on a three carb setup for street. I think a dual setup would still give the wow factor and make life a bit easier.

One other place my uncle (hot-rod engine guru) clued me in to.

http://www.cliffordperformance.net

Has a single 4bbl manifold and 2 or 3 exhaust header options. Look under the Ford 300-223 section. (Don't know why those two engine families are lumped together)
