Anyone have any feedback on this kit? Mancini lists it but there is no info on the carb cfm, specs, nothing. But it has everything needed to install. Seems easier than piecing together a setup and not much more costly in the long run with rebuilding factored in.
 
It used to be out of stock...couldnt get the intake or carbs, I would call them.

You also will need an air cleaner. Another 500 to a grand.
 
Mancini makes the new 383 version kit which I have but the kits are the same other than engine size and intakes etc.
Both kits use the same spec carbs for 440's as the original setup but using reproduced new parts to match OEM
Advertised 350 cfm center with 500 cfm outboards but from what I understand 2bbl carbs were rated different from 4bbl's and that being said the center is closer to 275 cfm center and 350 cfm outboards. Correct me if I am wrong guys as this is just what I have read :D
Besides that it is a great kit with everything needed down to the throttle cable.
The non fresh air cleaner assembly ran me $800 and took a year to be delivered as they were on back order.

If you look at the pix of the setup, you will see that there is NO provision for the hot idle solenoid, its mounting boss and drilled and tapped holes, yet the center carb's throttle linkage has the hot idle adjustment arm. I wonder if the manifold casting company (Edelbrock or "Eddy") just forgot to include this solenoid mounting boss. If one is building or restoring a six barrel car to origional appearance, the hot idle solenoid is important aspect. If not, it doesn't matter.....just my opinion of course....

I can't find this setup so I changed my mind about what to build. Uncomfortable about a bit-by-bit approach. I don't want to stall the build, then end up trying to sell it.
 
There is a used set up that needs some TLC but might be worth a look. FOR SALE - Complete 6 pack intake and air cleaner set up
The specs of the origional carbs were: end units were rated at 500 CFM; the center carb was rated at 355 CFM. The replacement/reproduction center carb has smaller throttle bores and venturii size. In addition, the reproduction units ALL come with fuel bowl vent connection and vent valve, where as pre 1971 cars used a flap type bowl vent open to atmosphere. All of the reproduction units have hex head bowl retaining screws, where the origional bowl screws were different head profile and have a slotted head. The replacement/reproduction units fit and function as the origional design but MAY need rejetted depending on the engine's cam, compression ratio, vehicle's rear gear ratio, transmission, spark advance characteristics and intended use.......just my opinion of course....

I have 75 pounds of six pack if you're interested in a '70 auto set............

I'm piecing together my own 440 6 pack. I have the intake and carbs, trying to order the linkages needed. Do you need a mechanical linkage for the carbs at all or just use the vacuum teed together for the secondaries? It's the 1971 big block setup. Is the choke worth hooking up. Any differences in the 1970 or 1971 kickdown? Installing in a 70rr, no need for correct but thinking the stock kickdown may work better than the bouchillon or lokar.
 
My girlfriend’s dad bought his six pack set up at Six Pack Performance in Albuquerque NM. They have everything, even a 383 six pack set up. Sadly the 340 six pack set up is out of stock.

 
....Do you need a mechanical linkage for the carbs at all or just use the vacuum teed together for the secondaries?....
What you see in my old '70 automatic set pictures above is what is needed to run vacuum secondaries.
FWIW, the solenoid is a '71. I never used it in the 45 years I owned it.

....Is the choke worth hooking up......
IMO, in my neck of the woods, yep.

.......Any differences in the 1970 or 1971 kickdown?...........
The throttle brackets are different. Do a search. You'll see the rest will be different as well. Get the correct components that work together.
 
Thanks Dave, if you have vacuum for the outboards why is there a mechanical linkage on the throttle side of the carbs?
 
That linkage forces the outboards to close via the center carb. Notice the curved slot where the two rods meet. As the center is closed it pulls the front outboard closed while the rear is pushed closed.

setup info.......
