66 240 cid
Hello, brand new here. I have had a 66 sitting and waiting for me to figure out what to do with and I think Im going to leave the old 6 cyl. in it. Anyone know if Offenhauser or another makes an intake manifold for two or three single bbl carbs?

There are a lot of options to use this block and engine. It is the same block as the 300 so if you want to upgrade you can simple swap a 300 in. The best way to find parts is to search for manifolds for a 300. Upgrading to a 300 would be a great option because it has larger pistons and could take more fuel.

Excellent!!! Thats exactly what Im looking for. I have a 289 and have thought long and hard, but I think I will do-up the old six, it makes things more interesting that way. Either way its still better than the generic 350 chevy that everyone else suggested! I hope Im not in trouble for saying the "c" word.
good choice on motors.
