I'm ditching the 3 carb setup because the previous owner put all three of the same carbs on the engine and it doesn't run properly. The two outer carbs are not the proper carbs and would need to be rebuilt properly. See attached links.

Since this is a budget build it would be easier to swap the manifold and put on a 4 barrel carb then to spend all that money on trying to fix the tri-power. I want something turn key and reliable. I'm sure if I can sell all the extra parts I should be able to get the needed parts.

To answer your other question. I want a patina rat rod on the outside and the interior will be done and nice on the inside.

Thank you for reading my post.
