Thread: Air gap manifold question

Tweet

He definatly does not need 1200 cfm either........

I know I will get flac over this suggestion ,but its a good one ,just not as impressive.......I would use the adapters and run 2 big 2 barrels on that manifold ,under the aircleaner they will be mostly hidden anyway.A couple of 350 cfm 2 barrels or in that range ,maybe a pair of 300s.........Then use non progressive linkage,both open and close at the same time.
Some thing like this......Holley 0-807871 High Performance Race 350 CFM 2-Barrel Carburetor.

WOW,I never knew you could get a 4 barrel that small......
You could run those non progressive too!!!!!!!!
I think those are perfect for your engine...........
With the non tunnel ram intake and those carbs ,it should be a walk in the park.....

At $347 EACH from Summit .

Oh well it's only money. I used to run 750CFM 3310's and they are $270 ea and the good ol' 600 cfm 0-1850s are $250 ea

Thanks for all the replies.

I'm still in "thinking" mode on the engine for this project, but I know I want multiple carbs just for the look. I know, I know that's probably not a good reason, but you gotta admit, they sure do look cool.

My original plan was 3 dueces because I'm running a set on my 46 and know how to make them work. Price wise, either setup is about the same. Actually, the 2x4 may be a little cheaper.

The dual quads sound like a real challenge, but I'm crazy enough to take on a "lost cause" challenge every now and then.
