Default Tripower intake manifold value

I am considering selling my tri-power manifold I’m curious what is fair asking price may be as I’ve seen them advertised all over the place pricewise but not sure what they actually bring Thanks

I sold a square port a couple years ago for $1200.

From the pictures yours looks like it is in great shape.

but yours is an oval port tri-power. actually more potential buyers for yours. but i think rectangles are more value.
hit google. type in 3937795. everywhere from 1300 to 2200 asking prices...

I would expect it to go for $1200. THe ones for more are still on Ebay since I've been looking. I'm sure someone will want to buy it to flip thinking its worth more but I dont see them moving for much more than that. LIst it for $1500 and see if you get offers. I have 2 so I dont need it , but I do want it, yours is in excellent shape. Good luck with the sale.

The carb prices are through the roof as well but a good set that needs restoration is going to be another grand to restore. I just bought a complete set and the 2 outboard carbs had way too much pitting for Holley to even fix. Im pretty deep into the 2 setups I have...

A Question. As this is an oval poet manifold,how do the port sizes match up to lateroval port heads? I have a set of,I believe "074"? oval port heads from <I believe a 73 0r 74 454" open chamber. I thought about replacing my closed chamber large sq port heads with the open chamber oval port heads. And using the existing carbs off the 435 .Any input??

As far as I know, all 074 heads are square port.

your rectangle intake will fit on oval or even peanut ports. and the airflow thing is way less than people think. i have a marine rectangle intake on my gen 6 L29 oval boat engine. works good.

and since this is a tri-power thread, is this bubba version of altering carbs something that would work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/28455968960...temCondition=4

probably best to avoid those unless you like to experiment and dont mind throwing $100 bucks away
