Re: Thoughts on a Four 2bbl intake Manifold

A four 2bbl set-up is appropriate for a small block, not a 6 cyl. 2-stage carbs would be cool and perform the best. Those multi-carb set-ups were all about WOT, just like a Torquer intake (straight runner/high-rise). It's style over performance with today's 4bbls available. If that's what you want then go for it. I think of the multi-carb set-ups, other that dual quad, as a '50s-early '60s thing on hot-rods with exposed engine. In one of these trucks it would be something you had to tell people or let them see with raised hood at a show. Dual quad would be period correct and was what I wanted on the 327 in my '67 project that is a period hot truck build. But I backed down once I considered while that is the look I want, the use I want from it is getting out of town... making long trips/touring around. Simple is good and so is using less fuel, so it's a single Quadrajet for that truck
