Todd;

These intakes do have a real WOW factor, but I can tell you from experience, they really are not meant for street use and in my opinion, more trouble than they are worth. If your planning a race-only application, that's a different story.  I had an Edlebrock #657 with 6 Holly 94's. The only way I could get it to run at all was to use only the outer 4 carbs running straight, non progressive linkage and blocking off the middle two carbs. I also had to plumb-in a remote t-stat housing. I sold the entire set-up on ebay years ago and went with dual quads which I'm really happy with. Anyway, just my two cents worth. Hope you don't mind.

As it says, I'd like to find a nice Weiand 6x2 Drag Star Manifold...

Let's all accept the fact that a 6x2 set-up isn't practical and get over it. I still would like to find one. And, for the record, I don't recall ever saying it was for street useWink

Might consider an Edelbrock FM 657 as well, but would prefer a Weiand. If you have a nice Weiand, I might trade my extra set of Edelbrock Y-Block valve covers for it...valve covers aren't for sale, outside of the right trade deal...

Please shoot me an email if you have one...
