GREAT news! Found and bought a Knudsen finned aluminum head for my 226 flat 6,and got the matching 3 carb intake with it. I am pretty sure I already had a Knudsen 3x1 intake,but it was a part of the deal with the head,so it looks like I will probably have one for sale once I verify having another one.

The head had one small broken fin that had been half-assed welded back on,but I am going to have to take it to a TIG pro and get it rewelded to fill the cracks. No big deal.

DAYUM,but this flat 3 Ford speed stuff is hard to find!

Now all I need mechanically to get my 51 biz coupe together like I want it is a flat 6 bellhousing and starter plate that will bolt to the FOM and have the right spacing.
