Ray This thing has 6 intake ports, maybe he could use 6 motorcycle carbs like that Hudson you showed us a while back. They could be big ones since each cylinder is over one liter (Hey! a wine bottle is only .75 liters, ... these really are BIG!)

I think they are rare but they made thousands and they have so much metal they can't rust that fast. I have seen references on other forums (such as the pilot house truck forum and AACA) so there must be a few around. I bet the military collectors might have some too. Those guys are into "BIG".

Here's a good place to look:

I remember reading a post from some one in the Pacific Northwest that had a few big sixes. Let us know if you hit pay dirt! Happy holidays!

It's not for a 12-porter, that's for sure...
The bolt pattern will be the giveaway with that one.
And seeing as the eBay listing will disappear in time, here's the pics:

I've seen this guy selling his stuff at swapmeets around the midwest. I saw this manifold in person at Iola, WI this past summer. It is definitely for a larger than usual inline.

I talked to Owen salvage. Darn my luck, he shipped that motor to Norway just a couple months ago. Sure wish I'd found this post sooner!

Well, we talked by email, so it was pretty plain:
"and thank you for th email.
we did have one of those big sixs here but i just sold it a few months ago and shipped it to a mna in norway. the guys dad had built some kind of homemade car or something wth one in it.
anyway the guy want a extra for parts. got 500.00 for it. guy was loading a container here with parts so he could get it home easy and cheap."
So, there it is. Another great part went across the big blue pond.
I would be interested in the one in NV, but I don't drive within 50 miles or so of NV frequently like I do that one.
