Offenhauser Triple carb intake

I did some searching but couldnt come up with anything concrete.

I'm looking into getting the offenhauser 3 carb intake on my 52 3100 with a 235. I will be running 3 Rochester b carbs on it. My question is does anyone know if there will be firewall clearance issues on the third carb or the linkage? Has anyone else ran this setup that had any issues with it?

Thanks,
Wade

I ran same set up on my model A Ford it doesn't over hang on rear of manifold, I used a progressive linkage from speedway. You shouldn't have any problem depending how you installed the motor. You can only use a samll distributor with three 2's carb setup.

I think he's talking about a 6-cyl. The distributor is in the middle of the passenger side.

Re: Offenhauser Triple carb intake

I googled this and came up with pages of links. I looked a a few and they seem to have good information. HAMB site shows up a lot.

"235 with three carbs"
