Hmmm.. Dual Carters. Sort of looks like the factory setup on my '65 Buick!

I have never used a setup like this but I would love to hear some opinions on how they work on a BB. I think that would look cool under the hood. :cheers:

HOT ROD did a test on them, they were down about 30 hp on a really built 350,,,as compared to a single race-prepped Holley on a Victor Jr.,,but the cam didn't match the carbs either,,,they can be tuned, and adjusted to give good performance on torque built engines,,,that is a dual plane manifold so you would have to build it around a 5500 RPM motor,,,and yes they are really :cool: looking!

I seriously concidered this combination,and after pricing out the carbs,linkage and fuel line connection,found that for very few extra bucks I could stroke the 350 to a 383. For the money spent,the bang for the buck would be the stroker kit. When I went to the machine shop to get his price for a stoker,I ended up going to the 406.This is still a cool intake setup,but looks wasn't what I was after. :D

You like the old Webers? How about this for a juxiposition of old and new- an eight ported fuel injection system set up to emulate the Weber look but with modern performance.

Greg P is building a pro-street 65 coupe. Here's a picture of his engine.

Pretty neat if you have a 2-5K to blow -- can even get them gold plated

When I build a kit cobra I am gonna use their products to build a 302 with a weber intake like the cobra 289

My dad's '64 runs two Holley 600cfm carbs on a tunnel ram. Of course his engine can make use of all that as it makes all of it's power up high. Dual carbs aren't really necessary besides for looks on a street motor. The main reason is, where are you going to find a 1200cfm carb that can feed as much fuel as two 600cfm ones? How built does your motor have to be to need that much fuel?
