Buick multiple carburator setup straight 8 248ci

Hi, i'm searching for a 2x or 3x carburator intake for My Buick special sedanet 48. Anybody has any contact who could help me? Thanks!

 

Did you check ebay...there are 2x2 an 4x2 intakes.....

 

Here is a home made set up that worked well...

 

I found the 2x2! Any link to the 4x2??

 

Awesome, was that the smaller straight-8?

 

How about 8 Mikuni motorcycle carbs on a Buick straight 8!

Buick only offered dual carb manifolds in 41 and 42, they are expensive. You can buy flanges on e-bay and make your own.

 

Don't have what you need, just want to complement you on your beautiful Buick. I absolutely deeply admire the '47 and '48. Just a few months before finding my' 34, I bought a '48 Sedanet. I'll include a pic or two. I was not as cherry as is yours is an it was not stock. It was on complete '73 Caprice frame with stock running gear , a Cev. 400. Lowered with wire wheels, even a visor that I really liked. I sold it right after finding the '34 and lost track of it. I did see it once again in about 2007 or '08 in and at the Seattle Roadster show. Lo and behold last year it showed up on Craigs list for $32,000. To much, he was having a pipe dream. I called him and I almost bought it back. Some one along the line had did to it what I planed on and didn't get chance to as I was into my '34. Frenched the headlights, taillights, changed out the wires, (which I would have never done in a thousand years), and tossed the visor which I would have never done either. They also added skirts which I would burn in the burn barrel as I have always hated skirts on most every thing except 49,50,51 chopped Mercs. So here's a couple of shots or so of it. Good luck finding your manifold.


As I understand it, the car came out of San Francisco, built by a motorcycle shop. A guy from Calgary brought it up the coast and sold it to me at the Silver Auto Auction at the Corvette High performance swap meet in Puyallup. The only part I got toreplace was Buick emblem on the hood seen in this shot.
Still love this old girl and if I didn't have my 3 window, I damn sure be driving this.

 

This is the intake that hellsgatehotrods is offering i believe? Or did you made it yourself? Those exhausts are awesome! Will you keep these like this?

 

I read somewhere that the OEM 2 x carb setups were notorious for cracking, either the exhaust or inlet manifold castings. If you come across one just keep that in mind.

Here's Buick I stumbled onto

 

Thanks for the info!

 

Just have to say that's a beauty ...

That problem was only encountered with the 320" - the 40 - 50 Series didn't do it ...

 

Used Hells Gate flanges, made the manifold myself and had Cornfield Customs weld it up.

 

There's an original 41-42 dual carb intake and exhaust posted on ebay right now. The seller doesn't specify whether its for a 248 or a 320, though. It looks complete except for the linkages.
