anyone have a picture of a flat top intake manifold?

I need to get one for a home made tri carb setup.

I found one on a 75 Maverick with the 200. Russell

Here's a picture. The flat-top is on the left. Hex-log on right.

Hope it helps!

My manifold on my head right now(1966 Falcon 200) is round. Whats with that?

Thanks

1960 to mid year 1969 were small round logs.

This pix is a comparision of the hex log and the round log.

There were Offy tri-carb adapters made for the '60 to early '69 round logs and for late '69 to '78 FLAT-TOPS. There were no Offy tri-carb adapters made for the hex logs that I know of.

Here is a pix from my files of a home made tri-carb. Note that it is on a HEX-log!

Good Luck

What gives more power a hex or a flat top ???

Neither.

I think the only reason for picking one over the other is because of what you plan to do.

I think it is easier to mill off the carb mounting pad and install a two barrel on a flat-top. Like this:

If you look carefully, you can see a modified hex log in the background. It needed the shoulder welded up to have a gasket surface. The flat-top didn't need that extra expense.

The valves and the combustion chamber sizes are the same in both.
