The dual Rochesters can be made to run OK with some tweaking; see
www.inliners.org tech section. Check with Tom at Stovebolt Engine Co. He is
always acquiring intake manifolds at swap meets - also has Rochester carbs,
Holley-Weber staged 2 barrels and sells Fenton headers (and new Offy 2x1 and
3X1 intakes too).
Inliner Mike Yoder of Kansas Kustoms does a great job on split exhaust
manifolds. He will make them with or without heat riser, on your core. He
has sold over 100 sets through Night Prowlers. They look very much like the
old Corvette duals. Contact me off-list for details.

unless someone wants to talk me out of that set up. I've now got my engine
back which is bored 60 0ver with high performance pistons and rings, 20/20
crank and performance cam. Also, I personally ported and polished the head
and saved a grand doing it myself though probably somewhat of a rookie job,
I didn't "damage" the head in the process. I'm almost ready to post a
couple of photos for you/my enjoyment but woudl like to split the manifold
first. Anybody have any parts/leads

wiring harness. Will plan on doing that this weekend...still a little
apprehensive but at least willing to make it happen.
