3x2bbls for 8 cylinders never really made a logical sense to me.
 
Ha!!!!!

I guess you've never driven a 6 pack car?

I know that they came close to the Hemi times, but shouldn't be 2x4s better suited for proper distribution, on the other hand they're just "dumped" in the plenum with the V8. Drove only a tired six pack with 6 cylinders once personally with seperate intakes for each cylinder. Still impressive.

I may be mistaken but behind the powersteering bracket I think I see a RB pad,so it mat be a 440, I have no way to enlarge the pic,,
 
What is that, 1150 CfM , what a sound

1350 CFM. Center is a 350 CFM and the outer carbs are 500 CFM.

Of course 2 bbl carbs are flow rated at 3 inHG and the 4 bbl carbs are rated at 1.5 inHg. Basically multiply the 2 bbl CFM by .7 to get approx equivalent 4 bbl rating. So... is about the same as a 945 CFM 4 bbl carb... Still pretty impressive though.

Having owned some cars with this induction system, I can tell you this really isn't a good setup for a big Chrysler. You need a little more gear and a lot less weight to take advantage of all that gas and air when the outer carbs open.

That's a low block. You wouldn't see that rib in the block in front of the intake valley if it were a RB.
 
I couldnt get an air filter housing to fit when I had mine under the hood of a 71 Polara ......

Had one on a 70 Sport Fury Gt. No... It was not a factory six barrel car. The air cleaner I had was hacked up pretty good to fit around the A/C but it fit!
