I suspect with the carburetors directly above the intake port and very limited space for intake runner length, these manifolds would have ended up being deficient in low speed torque and possibly / probably providing a high peak hp number good for bragging purposes but not much else.

For the most part, extremely short runner intake manifolds disappeared quickly in the sixties as the benefits of ram tuning became more well known.
