Technical Three Deuce set up....what's it worth?

My buddy has this 3x2 setup and wants to know what it's worth. Offy intake with no repairs, and 3 Rochesters. see pics.....
thanks!

 

$200 for the manifold, $20 each for the carb cores.

 

Offys are my least favorite intake...and the carbs appear to be normal 2 bbl carbs...not tripower end carbs. They are side inlet..so that is good. I'd say about $300 to $350...

 

Yes as mentioned you have just standard 2 bbl carbs not real tri-power units. I also have one of the exact same intakes. 4 years ago I paid $50.oo for it and thought it was a good deal. What I learned is that as you have the carbs mounted (as intended) there is not a single thermostat housing made that will fit under the front Carb. It takes a 3/8" spacer under all 3 Carbs to get it done or you can buy a off set thermo housing from BDS and only need a 1/4" spacer for all 3. By the time you modify the Carbs to actually work as a team buy lincage and do something for fuel it's real easy to spend another way to much to get it done. Even when they were making them Offy never did address the thermo housing issue. I never understood why they didn't just move the mounting surface outboard 3/8" and not have the issue. Black Panther is pretty right on with the number.

I would use the Offy after some modifications. A Guy make the Buick Offy's pretty good. You should use phoenolic spacers anyway so that ot too big of a deal. Bases with no idle screws and extended right shafts are available. You could have a grand in it if you don't watch out...

 

An old intake with 3 mismatched primary carbs is about 150 to buy, 250 asking on my table.

 

Thanks guys for the replies.....I'll let him know how much to expect.

 

Just asking, is it possible to mill the 3/8" needed for thermostat housing clearence, from the manifold boss,, and not use spacers for a cleaner look

Is that the intake where the front carb linkage hits the casting, the runner or something? What I've seen is they guy will bend the linkage out a little at the bottom and when they do they loosen the linkage plate attachment to the throttle shaft so its wobbly and leads to stumble.

 

Not the right carburetors, no linkage or fuel lines. Its worth little or nothing. One single four barrel will outperform it all day long.

All my multi carb setups run spacers. Phenolic for heat, I paint the edge black like the bottoms of the carbs. Gman is right but guys like what they like and its dual quads for me...

 

ebfabman, different bowl bottoms on the carbs. His has something on the left side that would hit the Thermo housing.

 

Yep, just noticed that. Its the accelerator pump passage. Thanks for the point out.
