Is anyone running the 3x2 setup on their sbc in these trucks?

[BCOWANWHEELS]

I'am building a long rod 400sbc for my truck now, heres the spec's.
.040 over block
400 crank
5.7 rods
11 to 1 compression
dart aluminum heads, big valves
hei dist.
balanced-clearenced
3 rochester 2bbls on edelbrock aluminum manifod (all polished )
mild cam ( just enough to sound good and not kill bottom end torque 3.73 gears (275/60r15 rear tires )
400 turbo with g/v o.d. unit & very mild stall converter
vette ram horns and 2 1/2" exhaust, x pipe, flow masters

p.s.
i can post pic,s. of my 3x2bbl setup if you need to see it for something. i had CHARLIE PRICE IN FLORIDA RBUILD THEM FOR ME. I "DONT " RECOMEND HIM BECAUSE IT TOOK HIM ALMOST 2 YEARS AND BOY IS HE EXPENSIVE....

thanks for the info.
I'm thinking about running the set-up on my 327 when I get around to building it, but I've been looking around at summit and jegs and their combos are like 1800 bucks. Do you know anywhere you can get parts for it at a decent price?

I HAVE CLOS TO $2200.00 IN MY SETUP AND I FURNISHED THE CARB CORES (348 SETUP 3X2BBL'S )
AND I HAD MY MANIFOLD POLISHED AS YOU CAN SEE

ALSO you,d be better off going 383 or 400 sbc because 3x2bbl's is alot of cfm's. when they came out it was on hi-compression engine andin the times of great gas so to make up for it all you need to go big cubic inches as you can and as hi as compression as you can get by with. thats why i went with aluminum heads and 11-1 compression. i want all 3 carbs to work not just the center one as most people now days have it.

be real rreal carefull when dealing with charli price at vintage speed// over on the HAMB the rotio is like 20to 1 people who have been screwed by him// yep his stuff looks good but doesnt run worth S^^t

I ran one for years on my '57 2dr ht back in the 80's. Had it on a 350, 11.5:1 pistons, 525 lift cam with 305 gross dur, 264 @ .050 or there abouts. I loved it. Kept it all these years and am in the process of getting it ready to put on the 327 in my '64. Mine is a 1962-64 vintage edelbrock (they only made it those 3 years) with adaptors to accept the carbs from a 389 pontiac. here's a pic of when I dug it out of the shed and after a bit of work. It's almost ready, just a few things to finish up.

Are you sure about that HEI. Won't even come close to fittin' behind the rear carb on mine. I ran an Accel dual point back in the day and it just barely fit. I'm planning to put a pertronics electronic upgrade in my old Accel dist.

i got mine from him also so i speak from experience//i had to purchase all new needles and power valves as well as getting the carbs stripped and recoated before that system would run properly

I forget about hei clearence issues. I,ve got a new mallory dual point so its going in there.
