6-pack or 4 in a row

I has the Thickstun PM 7 intake and 2 LZ carbs and the Hellings aircleaners with std decals.
As I got a hard core cam ( Potwin 425 ) and the coupe I build up is a tribute of a brutal streeracer at early 50's ( or as 'I' think it was..
I has seen this intake feels to soft ( plus I has the L&S high comp heads ) so I start to like the 6-pack or the 4 in a row.
My engine is not that big so 4 LZ carbs might be to much maybe but the look is super cool.
When was those intake on the market and what is the coolest brand to use.
I will go to LARS swap soon and might see something nice.
One thing I saw was L&S has the frog typ carb inlets ( really cool, but find 4 of them might be very hard.

Ideas.

I'm switching out the two-carb intake to a 3-carb intake on my dad's '32 roadster and changing the Isky cam with hardly any lope to a larger one which I already had ground. I'm hoping to find a three-carb manifold for an 8BA at the LA Roadster Show Friday and Saturday. Dad's engine ran great last time it was driven 15-years ago. I bought a battery for it, and it fired right up but it now it has an intake valve that has a stuck open from sitting. I've tried everything and it won't release. If I have to pull the intake to unstick the valve I might as well do some other modifications to the engine and straighten out some other stuff on the car. It's been sitting in my garage up on the hoist ever since my dad passed away. One of the first things I need to do is to get rid of that alternator. It was already like that when my dad bought at least 20-years ago. He only drove it a couple times and then he got sick, and it just sat.

I'd look for a four carb Edelbrock intake. You'll need to make a fan idler and hang the generator off of an adapter on the head. How many cubic inches in your motor? I'd probably run 97's if it is under 280 or so cubic inches, but if you have the LZ's, why not run them.
