Guest Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Did Olds put any tri-powers on in 1962? I have a car with this 3 two's and have seen pictures of a 62 HT with is same set up.Could this be a limited set up or just after market manifold and carbs? The car appears to be completely stock except for the tri-power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 It's aftermarket. They offered the J2 3x2 option on 1957-58 371s, and I've heard rumours early 1959, but otherwise 394 were all single 2-barrel or single 4-barrel Rochester carbureted engines. I think there's enough difference in 371 and 394 that the J-2 won't work on 394, but I may be wrong on that.Back in the day though, the Rocket engine was a popular hotrod swap and had a lot of aftermarket high-performance support. I'd guess you have an early Edelbrock, Offenhauser or Edmunds intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
