Way more expensive and won't fit under the bonnet. 
Ford (and Holden) raced their cars with that twin Weber setup back in the day.
They alternated with big Holleys depending on the track.

Do Redline do one ?
They used to do one for triple Webers on the Ford 250 six.
Inglise... yes and a nice complete kit with linkage
the torana used a similar set up so one of the aussie companies does at least an adaptor
http://vesquared.com/ramflo/manifolds.htm
LynxCorp
although that link is for their US distributor m216 and m217
they also did a downdraugtht one but wanted $400 for just the adaptor. i let them know my thoughts given a full 4bbl intake for a hemi 6 is less than that and their reposnse was well don't buy it then.
here it is but a bit lass $$$

aussie Ebay has them but you don't get a linkage.
do you not fancy 4 48 mm IDF?

ahh i see lots been said since i started my post
No manifold just yet redline and Lynx do one
have to let the world re gain its rotation before i spend any more money on cars parts
i got a good deal..buy carbs off a man who has just died, get them for less seems to be the key. i didn't take advantage auction ran fair and square just had to put in my bid with 5 seconds to go.
will need to swap out the chokes which will probably mean jet changes for at least the mains.......
plan is to bung em on and see first though...just need to get the spare engine sorted now.
Intake and carbs will dictate cam which will dictate the rest i guess. and i'll worry about axle ratio last (its manual so i can always slip the clutch to get out of the drive)

which dellorto?? DHLA?
if so its for a dellorto a weber a mikuni or a solex or a Mikuni/solex or an ENTEK/O.E.R carb
all produce(d) 40 -50 mm carbs with same mounting and configuration as the weber IDF down draught or the weber DCOE side draught
only weber and O.E.R still do though..dellorto are fannying about with Map sensors and stuff....and their carbs were the best......still do the little ones for bikes though..
actually no. the solex were the best but parts are hard to get, no dealer network and few used them, which discounts them in my book....dells are king when it comes to quality but we'll make do with Weber....it was their design that the rest nicked.

not the bin!!!!, dunno yet... should have gone with my initial "want a six pack idea" but was swayed by the Aussie message boards saying you get nearly as good with the long runner....you can, and quite easily if acquainted with the joys of metering blocks and power valves, but its harder to achieve the magical 300+HP without going for a wild duration AND big lift cam. the webers let you get away with even more duration but sane springs and lift without loosing all of the 1000-3000 rpm torque. The 4bbl is more orientated to WOT work and i don't use wide open throttle very often. mind Properly tuned 465 holley or a 600 vac secondary and they are meant to be great I just never had the time to dick about with rods and jets for long enough. nothing in the weber is mechanical apart from the throttle and the accelerator pump (and that is a solid piston not a diaphragm) bolt in the correct bits and it should work. no flaps no diaphragms...what could possibly go wrongMattH wrote:
So is your long branch inlet thingy going in the bin?
There are only three of us in the UK that could use it, so bear me in mind.
Impulse buy....bonus time in june, but job is at risk of redundancy, 1 last splurge until we find out what is happening (re-applied for same role and got the nod that indicated i'm most likely to be fine, but you don't know)
....you've witnessed the rapid speed of development yourself i get 1 thing done a year
but you will be first in the queue, the other fella needs his car painted first
Well the carbs arrived....not the ones in the picture???????????!!!!!!!
they were still sealed in their bags in Weber/Webcon Boxes with the flaps taped down, and the mesh filters were in thermo sealed vacuum packs. all had bent throttle lever (bad packing by Mr E. Webers spanish cousin)
so the chat the seller gave in the auction was obviously just a load of chat unless he has a bagging and heat sealing unit and a shed load or weber/Webcon packaging material.
well odd.
mind i'm not complaining
he said his uncle purchased them last august for a 4.2 jag and then died.
however these 3 appear to have an 09 date code if thats what 6A 09 means......?
Mmm wish i had triple sets of Weber's to flog
needless to say they sat happily on their respective closed boxes and watched me have my dinner last night... and then were gently caressed throughout the budget review on the news
Liz was not impressed
