    Wow   sweet offer   

I have a similiar set up for my 235 or 261 that will end up in my 55 150 2 dr post.  my Stuff is Fenton, cast headers and intake,  should work sweet.. 

AND now I bought the 3 spd with OD from Carl S... so that should make for an all around great combo...

Long Stroke is right on with his summary of those manifolds. When you think about it, an inline six has 6-into-1 exhaust manifolding. Sure it is simple and easy to package, but once your foot goes into it or you get the revs up they act like a dam. The pair of 3-into-1 manifolds help with back pressure and scavenging.

I have those manifolds on my low deck 292 made from a 250 block, a 292 crank and lots of expensive parts. I still haven't dropped it into my Chevelle. Paralysis by analysis...

 

One thing you will need to address is the heat riser & choke pull-off. The cast iron headers dont have the provision for the heat riser / choke pull-off so you will either need a manual or electric choke, plus you won't have intake manifold heat either. If you run the headers you should also think about an intake manifold as well and plumb it for hot water heating to keep the intake runners from frosting up. I have an Offenhauser 2X1 with hot water heating and have a pair of 2-barrel carbs to mount on it.

Below is a picture of my engine:

 Cam, you win the award for best looking souped up six. I for one look forward to finally seeing and hearing your sweet six banger when it is done and running in your Chevelle. By the way Cam when do you figure the car will get finished. We need a grand opening celebration for your car and motor. I have no doubt this sweet six in a row beast will leave many a bent eight in the weeds when the time comes. Continued good luck with your car and motor. Cheers. George.

It deals with the hows and whys of manifold heating, specifically aftermarket intakes on inline sixes.
