Not Dodge. Chrysler 331 / 354 / 392, cast manifold by Elelbrock. I've never seen one in scale.

Fits: 1951-58 Chrysler Hemi Engines. Edlebrock X3 Tarantula one-piece aluminum. Definitely a unique manifold! This aluminum manifold features a 6 carburetor cross-flow design.

Where did you find that photo? It looks like a "garage find" with all that dust...but I'm intrigued because it looks like this car, which I thought was a newer build:

*edit* Hmm, looks like same car, but I prefer the more original-looking version on the right.

You can do what you want, but it still won't be an early Dodge hemi. It's out of scale.

The AMT 53 Ford pick-up comes with a hemi with an 8 carb option.

Just to clarify...the AMT '53 Ford kit manifold is essentially two log manifolds with balance pipes running between the log plenums...a relatively common setup, as shown below.

The OP manifold is an entirely different beast, extremely rare...but I know nobody cares.

You're welcome.

OH I Care!, and I may be on to something...

Kinda in the ballpark...   IMG_6732-vi.jpg

But all the gen-one Mopar hemi engines have evenly-spaced intake ports, not paired...

  DeSoto FireDome (ex. shown, intake spacing is the same): Related image

I understand what your saying. And with a little massaging I think I can come up with a convincing look without having to scratch make something.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could get a properly scaled 56 Dodge 315 hemi engine like this:5af1d1a4c73ad_dodgewaterpumphousing1.png.c68e2bba0904621552d190a084c90177.png

With this intake with 6 Stromberg 97's on it?

Thanks. I'm hoping to be done with it by the end of the month. If I chose to, the intake that the OP requested would be a simple task. I have a source for the Stromberg 97 file.

James, AMT HAS A 6 2BBL manifold found in their '32 Vicky model, a few others like the '25 Ford chopped T double kit might have one, the more recent tall T double kit has one for sure , these 6 2BBL Manifolds can be found in the Revell- Monogram Phaeton hot rod, the one that comes with a skeleton, also has a nice early hemi motor, good luck with your project..
