This is the only pic I have right now, I'll grab more when I can. It's a mix of custom, stock, and aftermarket parts. It's a really tricky setup to get right and took a lot of time to troubleshoot and get it dialed. The hard part is the throttle rod runs front to back and the 6cyl linkages on the Monojets sit left to right. The stand that the modified factory bell crank sits on is a custom piece my buddy cut for me on a 2 axis machine out of aluminum. We measured very carefully because it's held in place by the intake/exhaust studs, and actually take the place of two of the clamshells that hold them together to the head. The height of the piece is important also since the carb linkages rise upward. It has an aluminum sleeve we made to work with the factory bellcrank and pin. We bent the bell crank towards the carbs. The linkage that connects to it is an Offy piece that came with the intake, along with the piece that ties the carbs together...both of which we also modified. Confused yet?? I know I was for a while!
I'm running the factory exhaust manifold for now. I had it Cerakoted, which is a coating like powdercoat commonly used on guns. It has a much thinner mil thickness than powdercoat and can handle higher temps. It still looks great after 2 plus years.

Hope this helps, it was a total pain in the butt, but it gets a ton of looks and comments at shows.

Once again that kid of mine hits one out of the park.

I already said this in a different thread but that is a beautiful truck! Almost exactly what I want to do with my 68.
