Todd,
Ran across this at the Ford Barn http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19249
Might be a dead end. Bumped it, but he never posted that it was sold. Might get lucky

Todd, patience IS a virtue!
IF you are still interested in buying a Weiand 6x2 manifold for a y-block, you'll want to look at this one! Talk about a blast from the past! 
See ebay listing number 140614503968. This is a N.O.S. (!!!) Weiand WFM6 unit. It takes 3 bolt carburetors. This thing has been sitting somewhere for some fifty three years!
Hope this helps!

Just to be clear...I'm not the one who choked up the coin for this one I like a balance between nice, and reasonably priced...learned my lesson on a NOS tailgate for my F-100, that will forever be a wall hanger now that repops are available for 1/2 the price

Hi, Todd.
I attempted to send you an email (in addition to my Forum posting) on this eBay listing via the Forum when it was first listed, but was unsuccessful. -System reply was that your Forum listed email address was no longer valid.
I understand your refusal to spend the 'buy it now price' on the Weiand manifold even though it is N.O.S. It seemed excessive, and would sour the securing-of-same for me, too.
My understanding is that the Weiand manifold was NOT sold either of the times it has been listed on eBay. An Offenhauser 6x2 that went last week was in the $400+ range. An Edelbrock 6x2 3 bolt carb. unit was also listed on eBay last week, seemed to be withdrawn for a period of time, but now shows as not sold (at least on eBay). It had only an eBay 'buy it now price' of (?) $550.
The Weiand, Edelbrock, and Offenhauser 6x2 units appear to all be 'significant' castings and very similar in design/ construction.
I recall that you secured a set of Weiand valve covers. Are you just trying to stay brand congruent on your build, or is there something different about the Weiand 6x2 unit?

| As far as I know, there's no advantage in running a 6x2 of any manufacture on the street other than it looks totally bitchin! I actually would pick up an Edelbrock 6x2 is the price were right as I have a set of v/c's to match that as well, but am really after a Weiand. I already have a big port Weiand intake (3x2) but I'm really wanting a 6x2...the long-term goal is a radical y-block in an hoodless "A" roadster or '32 5-window. No brand-specific advantage that I'm aware of...More info than you wanted, but there you go NoShortcuts (11/21/2011)

Wow! Can't believe anyone would pay $710 for one of those intakes.. They are a very simple single plain log design which isn't suitable for reasonable street use. I'd bet money that a Mummert intake would be much more driveable & likely perform far better overall, & definately be far less troublesome..

I get the feelings about driveability and performance, but guys, an open hood roadster with a 4 bbl instead of 6-94s staring you in the face? Numbers of hot rodders would say "NO WAY"! It is not like he is going to drive this thing to work on a daily basis. Go get em Todd.
