The biggest expense after buying the manifold and the carbs is the different jets, emulsion tubes, chokes, etc needed to tune your carbs for your engine. I have about $1300 in my setup: 3 matching Italian-made DCOE45’s and Australian slant manifold which included everything needed to hook up each carb to the main cross rod that’s mounted from one end of the manifold to the other end. This setup as bought will allow the engine to run.
To optimize the carbs for the engine will no doubt require different idle and main jets, chokes, emulsion tubes etc and since you will need three each time when tuning, that can get expensive in a hurry. As Dan said much easier to run a single carb and cheaper as well. And again true when you open the hood - there’s the Wow factor.
