i know this is no good with out pictures but i just havnt had time to take any just yet...but digging thru some stuff this past weekend i ran across some odd ball looking intakes...allunium...looks to be on one end there 36hp and on the other end they match up to a 34pict carb...they look well fabbed together....each one has a slight lean to them so there is a left and right to miss the doghouse..i just never seen anything like this before and i was wondering if anyone else had heard about something as well...

I would think a straight shot into the head would provide better mix and with that much leverage I would worry about failure of the weld with out a brace. On the other hand it would look unique Cool

I think I remember seeing an old brochure for a carb kit that placed the carbs a little behind the shroud to clear the carbs, but I can't remember it. I think that this is something completely different.

Would they fit Weber 34 icts or possibly 32 PDSIT carbs from a type 3?
