GM Experimental Prototype SBC 3x2 / Tripower setup

[Big Block 69]

Several, several years ago, One of the major magazines, maybe Hot Rod had a page in the back of each issue called "Quick, What's wrong with this picture?" If you were the first to mail in your answer, I think you got a 1 year subscription. Anyway, in one issue there was a small block Chevy with an intake similar to this one. I don't remember much about it but I think I remember the article saying the carbs had the same spacing as a big block intake so that the factory air cleaner assembly could be used. That was in the 70's or very early 80's so I could be way off.

Smokey took 3 Camaros to Bonneville in October 1967 and broke a lot of records using different SB and BB combos.

I wounder if he ran the 3x2BB set up there as well as single 4BB and 2x4BB to set some records ?

are there date codes on the Holleys?

When Brad & I picked up the Z28 Larry told us a lot of stories One of the main ones was about Smokey he said he would wait till about 5 o'clock to go see Smokey when he was getting info for his books They would hang out to late hours in the morning one day Smokey was busy he said go in and play so Larry was looking around and found the two 3x2 manifolds sitting on a shelf when Smokey came in he asked what can you tell me about those two manifolds sitting on the shelf that look like 3x2 Corvette BB but they are for a SB? Smokey said oh those well those are a piece of shit! I really got a kick out of that as I really like my Z28 I bought and I really like that piece of shit manifold! LOL Bill
