I have a very nice Edmunds 2x2 intake for a 288/327 Packard.
4 bolt bases so you can use your original Packard carbs. I have one lightly used NOS carb to go with it that needs the accelerator pump replaced. PM me if your interested. 500 + shipping for intake and carb. the carb shown in the pic is a rochester and if you want it I will throw it in for free.

Eric - are you paying attention here?

Carb looks like a Stromberg as used on Studebaker or Mopar some had a angled to back with a horizontal air inlet, Not being smart just my observation

Paying attention, but $500 is way out of my price range right now.

Eric: Would there be any advantage to using the Edmonds
2X2 manifold and carb setup, over the stock factory Packard straight eight four barrel setup.

Of course. Better fuel distribution for one. The end cylinders can't receive as much fuel as the center ones IMHO, since it has further to travel. This would equalize fuel distribution, and is essentially the same reasoning as to why I'm doing the twin turbos.

Will this manifold also fit a 356 engine? I have two rebuilt Carter carbs on the shelf?

Im not sure if it will fit the 356 as those were all 9 main bearing engines I belive, if im wrong it should fit as long as its a 5 main engine.
I have a edelbrock 2x2 on a 48 Lincoln V12 and it has made a huge difference, all plugs burn about even now and the power has increased enough I need better brakes to stop it.
But I did open the intake and exaust runners when I rebuilt it and used larger pipe for the single exhaust and a little cam regrind. Still gets 18-20 mpg with OD in and 70 mph with the top down. If it would fit my 282 I would use it on my 41 business coupe but its to nice to cut up.

It SHOULD fit a 356, as the manifolds use the same gasket and spacing, but I've never had a 356 so I'm not 100% sure on that.

it'll fit a 356. the difference is internal.
