Tri-ing to find Tri power pictures

Back on November 12, 2011, I saw on the internet search a really cool tri power intake. Its a 170 or early 200 small log head, with special outer bosses for a simultanoeus tri power set up, Duraspark, and three 1bbl carbs.

The images are th_i013.jpg and th_i019.jpg( or th_I013.jpg and th_I019.jpg, but not th_1013.jpg or th_1019.jpg). They were on muzic-world.com, but I've not been able to see them again.
Blown up from its existing 160 by 120 size, its like this



I didn't record the history or other details, but Searches were like this

and both together

I've done some pretty extensive searches, but can't find them, only a lot of junk unrelated photos. Safe or unrestricted searches yield nothing. Bearing in mind what a waste sewer google can be when looking for JPEGs, I thought I'd ask if anyone here might now about them.
 
Thanks so much. Yours I have seen before, and they still look n-i-c-e :beer:

No, I'm looking for the orginal photos of what lookes like a full iron weld on the outer extremities of the early log head, not an alloy Offenhauser or Edelbrock. And they are in the right place, right between no 1&2 and no 5&6, whereas the Offy and Edelbrock are designed around the curves in no 2 and 5.

I have an iron clamp on adaptor for the outer carbs on my small log, as a 2" or 5.1 cm hole just doesn't have any metal around it unless the sides are built up with more metal. It isn't U bolted on like the Edelbrock, either.

I've got enough to go on, as I'm happy with the port arrangment, but I'd sure like to see that head full size. Basically, the port area of the Offy and Edelbrock are about half of what I need to meet my horsepower objectives, I need six 27 to 31 mm venturis, not three 29 mm venturis, and the carbs have to be staged 3 staged 32/36 Webers, so I can't lay them side by side or cylinders will starve. I've settled on 16 degree slew and longitudinal port division. Its a complicated issue, and the Offenhasuer and Edelbrock don't answer the problem at all.

Guess its no longer on the 'net. :banghead:

I could just about hug you...That Cardomain site was awesome. I remember his work now.

Thanks dude, you've made my year.

:cool: :cool: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :unsure:

Thats the arrangement it terms of where the 3 carbs are spatially...different to the Offy and Edelbrock. The changes mine has is that
a) the ports are split and
b) the adaptor is angled like this


and

c) the ports are opened up in a hole 2" in diameter, like our Aussie members Danielson (221, ARC9DE-6049) and 73GreenMachine (250, 72 DA-6049)

It's then a mixture of my old Falcon LPG adaptor (which is sort of what Danielson has used in his XW ute) and the 'routed out' log.

The last change is d), the 2" hole is then split at a 16 degree angle to run a 1.83" sleeve.

Once there is a nice open space under the carb, you can split the big area in half, and run a staged 2-bbl Weber 32/36 as a 1-bbl under 60% throttle, then as a 2-bbl over 60%.

Now I'm off for the rest of the year, but back periodically. I'll be setting up a website later this year.

If you want Ford log six triple carb adaptors, gas flowed log heads, bullet proof overdrive transmission adaptors, 200 and 250 cylinder blocks that suit Mikes head, IRS conversions, log EFI systems, I'm doing it.

My goals for this year are:-

* making 200 and 250 hp triple carb log adaptor kits,
* tuning my 4 and 5 speed auto adaptor,
* doing my P17 flow bench work (found on page 17 of John Daltons "Practical Gasflow" ISBN-10: 1855205645 ISBN-13: 978-1855205642
and Page 17 of "How to Build, Modify and Power Tune Cylinder heads"
by Peter Burgess / David Gollan - B Eng Hons.- Veloce publishing ISBN 1-903706-76-9)
* State Highway audits
* International Ride Index validation and IRS upgrades and suspension tuning.
* and specialist EFI i6 and i6 cam tuning via my Road Warrior Dyno System.

:beer: :unsure: So how far down will your plenum dividers go, into the log splitting the port or only in the 2V adapter? :cool:
 
My NCHO-6V kit creates a full IR runner set up, one type of splitter suitable for Weber 32/36 , another kind of splitter suitable for a Weber 38, or 2300 series Holley 2-bbl 350/500/650.

The splitter goes right down to the port floor, then seals it, that makes two independent runners. Irresepctive of if its a staged or unstaged 2-bbl, there is a divider for between 5 and 4 and 3 and 2 as well, but if you use a simultanoes carb, the splitter is another type.

This creates the flow rates required to make power, and the isolation to create excellent, stable velocities that make horsepower. This is where great torque and good hp is made.
 
I see, it will be a true independent runner intake and now I get why you are angling the carb bases :nod: (y)
 
my next project,,,maybe you like the photo's.
now i gonna make my 68'moter with triple carbs.
my other was a 70'moter,the intake from the 68'
and 70'moter are different,,68'has a round log the
70'has a flat log.






























greetzzz,,,JD,,,,(from holland) ;)

xctasy's ambitious project of individual runners ' and multiple progressive's logistics adds plenty more variables to an already considerable task. I've been working (toying) toward multiple 5200' pgsv's with plenum box on top of sectioned log or ... .

have fun
