One thing you can do is take 3 stock intakes and cut the 4 end runners off (and just leave the 2 right next to the carb inlet). Weld the ends shut, and then put 2 to 1 carb adapters on each opening.

I barrowed this photo from Fordsix. Hopefully the poster won't mind me using it among other Ford 300 enthusiasts.
I'd REALLY like to try a few of these, but, as AB said, they are very hard to find, and b/c of supply and demand, expensive.
If you have your heart set on a multi carb intake, Clifford Performance still produces a dual 2/4v one, but it is rather expensive. The shot below is taken at clifford's.
If I had the $ I'd try that one with a dual t.b.i system...and a turbo...and stainless steel exhaust...and have a x flow head built, and, oh, sorry, I got carried away.

dang i shoulda got that one! lol so fellas i made a decision last night while i was about to go to sleep! Since i park my truck for the winter i figure well since im gonna take the head of to get it ported i might as well take the whole kit and kubootle out and put the isky cam im will be getting and regasketing the motor. Also i was reading on a different forum that porting could change the exhaust note quite a bit is this true??

Somebody out there still sells a manifold to run three side-draft Webers, I swear a poster here put up pics of one he just bought. Or the FSP board - maybe the guy wedging a 300 into the Cobra kit car?

yeah, i seen the three webers also but on youtube. i feel multi-carb setups are most often a huge PITA and wallet. lol it looks great but i would hate to keep it all tuned and fight the kinks. a DP intake seems to be the best pick unless built for show.

I'd take a Offenhauser C-series over the DP! In fact that is what I'm doing on my stock engine until I get my not so mild one built.
For a custom multi carb intake your best bet is to use an EFI lower intake and build an adapter or plenum for the carbs of your choice.
Like this. I believe this was built by "FrenchTown Flyer" for a friend of his.
Here's a few pictures from Fordsix. A member named "82F100" had a very cool intake collection. He had just about every aftermarket intake that was produced for the 240/300.
Here's a 3-1V intake made from 3 stock intakes. I don't remember who this one belonged to.

When I see a pic of something cool dealing with a 240/300 I save the pic if I can. It's nice reference material for down the road. I had a lot more but my computer crashed a couple years back and I forgot to back up the pics.
I lost all the pics of my old triple side draft Weber carb set up I had.

Which style 3-2V? The Holley style or the Weber side draft or down draft style? Check the second picture in post # 25. It shows all three styles of intake.
And if it's the Holley style and you do buy the intake make sure it includes the carb mounting bases. Their old intakes did not come with them and you had to buy them separate and they were like $50.00 each.
Personally I would not buy anything from them besides the parts you can't buy elsewhere ( like the multi carb intake or the finned aluminum valve cover ) . Otherwise you are just wasting $$$. Depending on what carbs you are going with you can buy them from Summit racing or if you want Webers you can get them right from Redline. Same with the cams you can get them from Summit or right from the cam manufacture. Like mine I'm buying right from Crower.
Shop around before you spend your $$. Unless you don't care and have $$ to burn.

I agree that the Clifford stuff is over-priced. The cam grind is a bit special that I haven't seen anywhere else. My Isky 256 cam with 1.7 rockers about equaled his cam, but with a tad more duration. Ever since I read about the guy on Fordsix whose new Cliff cam kept shredding his bearings in no time, I have been VERY skeptical of Cliff's products. It turned out the journals had not been polished and were shredding the bearings like a cheese grater. Also, their return policy is poor; So I have read. I also found it interesting that although they call it a 264 duration cam, @ .050" the Comp 260 actually has more duration, by ten degrees!
One note about the Cliff headers: He is the only one I have seen with 1 5/8" tubes.
