Triple DCOE manifold for Crossflow?

[MustangSix]

Anyone still making these?

They're an occasional swapmeet find. Woth ringing around the wreckers, too, before you buy off "American Auto Parts".

Steve (Buickroadster) is probably the best swap crawler of the regular Sydneians.

I still want to try the dual and triple Strombergs and am kicking around the idea of getting some cheap DCOE workalikes, but in the meantime I have just won two sets of these on E-bay......

the idea is to mount six of them like this:

I think that may solve some of my dizzy clearnace problems at the same time. Each of them has a 36mm (1.41") throttle so there should be more than adequate flow. I tried to get some 38mm flatslides, but those are hard to get and more expensive.

Interesting - Mikunis, aren't they, on a Spitfire? A mate has a Spitfire ('69, I think) factory built to Le Mans spec - lots of GT6 inbuilts and a host of factory made custom parts. Think it runs Webers...

At least you won't have the obstruction issues with side-draughts like the Webers in a car with shock towers.

The Mikunis should fit nicely in the Locost, but I have lots of room for DCOE's too, should I ever go that way.

THe Mikuni/Spitfire thing has been done dozens of times and by all accounts is a great combination. The cycle carbs idle well but flow like crazy when opened up.

Jack, how much pressure and flow do those carbs require???

Fuel pressure has to be set low, so I have a regulator that I will dial down to about 2 psi, but I think the stock pump will do the trick.

Interesting...kinda like Webber's that run really low pressures.....what about the manifold, maybe you could get Harrie to make a trick aluminum sheetmetal intake......
