All Small Six Winter Project: Better breathing with a large log

This relates to all small sixes
Hey, I'm wondering what plate I should get to do the 2V mod on the large log head.

I was considering the tri-power Offy adapter as well but I wonder if there is any benefit of the 3 - 1 barrel carbs over a Weber 38/38. I figure if I were going to do something with multiple carbs I'd go all in and do what Jann did on his Falcon with the Volvo transmission and the 3 2-barrel carbs with direct fuelling to each cylinder. That's beyond where I'm at at the moment.

Does this one work with a Weber? https://www.vintageinlines.com/product-page/autolite-holley-2v-conversion-adaptor

Is there any benefit to the spacers? 500 CFM, 350 CFM?

Thanks,
Andrew
I can see much benefit running 3 carbs thru the original one barrel intake. Cutting the log off and feeding two cylinders per carb is a whole other story. That is an improvement over the log, but a lot of engineering.
I couldn’t see the link, but it says it’s Holley. Holley and Webber are different bolt patterns. That’s part of the advantage of using a narrow 4 bolt pattern on the intake. Then you can make an adapter from that to any pattern you want and then change it to another pattern 👍
Spacers are a benefit- smooth the air flow out. A lot of science involved, but basically, the more the better. Mine is going to end of between two and 3 inches. Just make sure you clear the hood
