Block seems to be much cleaner now. Started on radiator. Filled with vinegar, rad laying flat. Filled through lower outlet, had most of vinegar poured out of bottle and top tank was still dry, near zero flow. Poured it out three times and got sediment every time. This last one is with some more simple green.
Its getting better. I put a heater on one end now, see if heat changes anything.

Do you have heated room to work with that ? I mean so you don't risk the water freezing if you have to leave for a while.

Shop is 65 farenheit. Nice and warm. If i leave heat off, even for a few days it wont freeze.
 
Done flushing block,flushed and rinsed rad. Installed new water pump. Its slightly different. Pulley now rubs pump casting.
Made a shim from 1/4” steel plate. I had a drop from a hole saw. It was perfect. Enlarge centre and drill 4 holes. Done in only a few minutes. So next is water pump fitting for heater hose. Making progress. Slow. But progress nonetheless.
 
So, this is what we got today.

Gen 1 early hemi intake. It is only 6 2barrels how hard can that be.

Oh I don't know, It's all about 6 carbs feeding 8 cylinders. Like the outer slant 6 cylinders running lean with the carb in the middle. 8 single barrel carbs would be more balanced. Cool stuff though. You have a early Hemi?

Nah, they feed into a single plenum on each side. When the center one is open the A/F mix just comes from there and distributes evenly to all the cylinders on that side. It’s not like the other two carbs on each side are open leaning out the end cylinders. A 4 bbl with vacuum secondaries on each side would act exactly the same way.

It was very common back in the old days to run 6 for some reason. I had one, but sold it with a log manifold I made. This being an Edelbrock and a cross ram, it was too cool not to get.

Does that fit 354/392?

Six smaller ones on each side is the same as running a big six pack in the middle. The only difference being the runner lengths that change how it breathes. Mopar always loved to optimize runner length which is why even the Modern Mopar engines run variable runner length active intakes.

All 331, 354 and 392 use the same intake. 331 and 354 used 10.32 deck height. the 392 used 10.87" deck height and wider heads so the older intakes would still fit.
