I think that somebody tried to or did make a 3x2 intake that used a whole Q-Jet as the rear carb. and only the big rear barrels for the front carb!
Anybody know how this worked out?
Kinda like a Pontiac GTO 3x2 intake that used a little Rochester 2G carb for the middle one and the bigger Rochester 2GC carb's for each end.
I think what you are referring to was posted by "F-Bird'88". You may want to PM him for more details.
thus far, i believe its a fantasy piece. essentially what you show is a basic mopar six pack manifold, 350cfm in the center with 500's for the outboard.
hey, F-Bird88, are you still here?
If this was you, then how did it turn out?
And if they aren't enough cfm, then use two 1,000 cfm T-Quads!
From what i remember it was fbird that posted about it.
I could be mistaken but from what i know the mopar sixpac all barrels worked together and the gm tri power were progressive setup and only ran as a 2 bbl and 6 bbl at wot.
Yes it was me. No I have not built it yet.
This is somethibg that anyone can do.
A lot of different ways you coukd use it too.
To disable the primary side so it is a (secondary carb only) yet the throttle action and linkage is simple.
Have not decided wether the front primary accelerator pump should be kept active, with a modified discharge path into the plenum. The front carb primary throttle is not exposed to the plenum.
The total cfm if/when at WOT and if both secondary air doors are wide open the cfm capacity would be some 1290 cfm @ 1.5". Of course that is fully adjustable and progressive by nature of the (2) secondary air doors design.
You also gain the benefit of having 2x fuel inlets, 2x fuel bowls, and can be 2 accelerator pumps or 1.
Bigger fuel metering capacity for high output engines.
Yes the front and rear carbs throttle connection is a simple rod link. But the 4 secondaries are progressive by the action of the QJet throttle linkage action.
It idles and drives around on just the 2 primary barrels, which are now (very near) in the center of the manifold plenum say on a 4 bbl intake manifold.
On the front carb the lower half of the primary throttle blades is removed. The primary metering rods are removed. The primary main jets are blocked. The primary idle fuel feed passages are blocked. The primary side is not used. But other than cutting off the lower half of the primary throttle blades all the linkage is intact.
On the under side the lil passages between the primary and secondarys on the base are blocked.

Yup the Thermoquads would be candidates for this too.
The early QJets pre 1975 "4mV" can be mounted relativly close together, in line and also if back to back.
This scheme is inline, useing 6 of the 8 venturi , of the 2 q-jets.
You guys must have a lot of time on your hands for such a project?
on the mopar, the outboard carbs are vac.
It's those long cold Canadian winters, maybe the high octane Canadian beer too..
