6-pack question

Hey guys,
I have an 83 L4 Camaro that I'm doing a makeover on with a 350ssbc and a 4-spd tranny with a new rearend to boot. My question is this. I found a six pack carbureator set in a junk pile that are in amazingly great condition. I have no idea what they went to or why they were tossed out, but they are clean and all the old fuel lines are still attached.
Is there any company that makes a manifold for a 350-sbc to mount a set of 3-2 barrels? Is this even possible? Can you just hook up any carburetor that fits? This is my first project and I'm quite a novice at fabricating and building cars. So far "Camaro Love" is a Sally doll patched together from whatever I could find cheap.
Thanks.

Edelbrock makes a 3x2bbl manifold for the SBC.

Six packs are cool man, I personally sip up a pack each day!

As for power, I think it has been concluded long time ago, like early seventies, that multicarb setups don't make more power than single (4bbl) carbs. But if the one you have is shot, and these are great, why not try them out?

I was fortunate enough to find 3 holley 4412's for peanuts. I'm putting them on the 425 olds in another car (even having to make my own intake) but nothing beats the look of multiple carburetors
