OK...there's no denying it's unusual and unique...props for that...


...but...


...why???

With 4 QJets wide-open, the air volume passing through each carb is going to be WAY down (assuming a 455" engine, that's one big 4-bbl carb feeding the equivalent of a 2-cylinder 113" engine)...I can't begin to imagine how much fun it will be to get those things calibrated right.

*shudder*

Cool...but crazy.

p.s.

still trying to figure out what those little black lines are going into the plenum under the carbs...

If it runs low 10's, then my hat's of to whoever set that system up, they did a helluva job.
