[FWDLK] Dual Quad poly intake



OK, with all the dual quad 303/318 talk... what is a good iron manifold, both carbs with tags, linkage, fuel line and filter, choke tube, water neck and some fasteners worth these days?  I have 2 57 complete setups, 1 58... dont ask about the air cleaners, I have 17 57-9 mopars... I only have 1 57 Fury so all this poly stuff is just for show to me, everything else is big block or desoto hemi.
 
the guy at carlisle with a 57 setup for 2500 has had it for 10 yrs now [black air cleaners, corroded carbs]  another ebay seller has one for 1300-1400 for quite a while.. but all mine are better than that guy's stuff..
 
anybody need a setup? I want real $ for it but I'm not greedy... I'll take pics once you tell me a number that sounds fair, otherwise they can all sit on display with my F and G sonoram setups, vintage B tunnel rams, and commando and E dual quad big block intakes!
I'd consider a partial trade-in of a 330-341 4bbl intake

Furthermore, I have a big interest in the Dual Four Fury's history because it gave me some comparison to the D-500-1 story. I had the chase to meet Johnny Allen at the 50th running of the Daytona 500, the most prolific nascar racer of Plymouths in the mid 50's (55-58). He was being honored at the legends banquet. He confirmed to me that Plymouth supplied to him a complete factory Fury racecar in may of 56. It had the Dual Four setup as well as Imperial brakes and suspension upgrades. It was so much faster than his 55 he was forced to relearn his whole operation, from removing almost all tread from the tires to not running too hard and overheating the motor. Also note his hood read 260 HP after that. Great guy and still sharp. I finally located Bernie Hentges who conformed the same experience with a D500-1. He picked up his car in Detroit at the factory complete with the Dual Four Carbs and Imperial suspension upgrades. Also note that his hood read 276 HP after that. For those who wondered or were skeptical about these cars there is now undisputed confirmation that both Plymouth and Dodge built factory racecars in 1956. Drivers would eventually or even promptly modify the cars but they were running upon delivery or as in Brenie's case driven home to Minnesota. Tim in Golden.
