Tri Power Intake on Ebay

Somebody was looking for one, so I thought I'd announce it. You may, however, be bidding against me. Three Webbers would be a nice project, and hopefully turn the ponies loose.

you can have the weber style manifold, not the look I am after. I was thinking, however, about a box/log plenum on an EFI lower with three 1 barrels on top... opinions?

remember, I wanna run this set up in my chopped 56 F100, so the look is just as important as the functionality. Backed by a 3+OD manual from an 84-ish F150 with a 31 inch tall rear tire and 3.55:1 gears should get me 20+ mpg on highway and enough grunt to still be used as a truck if nessecary.

I saw somewhere where someone cut down 3 intakes, and welded them back together, using 3 single bbl stock carbs. was cool looking, I don't know how practical tho......

I can see this as working really well, as long as you had the patience to tune such a thing...

I can see how it would be more efficient than a stock setup due to the fact that the intake is just so long...

When I think about the definition of a fanatic, I wonder about myself: someone who doubles their effort when they have forgotten their goal.

Heck, Dusty, I don't even know what this thing is anymore. LOL. I call it a ford, but I have to make a list of all the different parts I have from different years and makers.

Ford front calipers, 76 Caddy in the rear on 80 chevy rotors, Chevy flex lines, 92 Astro Van hydrobooster, with 90 Superduty lines, and a 90 Chevy C3500 4X4 master, Summit racing aluminum cross flow radiator, sbc valves, chevy mirrors, 94 Taurus alternator, WindStar electric fan... 57 gallon fuel capacity! AND I'M BLAMING IT ON YOU GUYS ON THIS FORUM. YOU'VE TURNED MY TRUCK INTO A MONSTER. LOL.

Nope, a simple cam swap, the ZF trans, and a Taurus two sp. fan, and I'm done!!!

I would like to see how it does over a 4V in cold weather. May have less stumbling. You should test it for us!
