It look like a six banger manifold to use with 5 sidedraft carbs. The carb on there now couldn't function.

I don't think it would fit a flat 6 as is. Here is a manifold I own and it does fit a Ford Flathead 6.

Oh, That Howard Manifold.
It ah, fits GMC 6's, it uses 3 90 degree elbows to bolt it up to the block. Originally for 97 style carbs.
Howard also produced cyl Heads and cams, made some good horsepower.

(It was another life)

looking at the Ebay item, where would the air/fuel mix go to? I mean with 3 outlets underneath, they look like they would need a lower half. right?

Thats where the elbows come in, they bolt to the manifold, then to the block.
