Now a single large four could do it. I didn't see any intake filters on any race engines. Nascar uses filters now and are only going 500 miles in about four hours around the same loop not 24 hours out in the country side.
The MkII (427-powered) cars went to twin carbs for ‘67. They ran them without filters, like they ran the Weber-powered cars. Wonder how much dirt and sand those engines ingested in a 24-hour race, especially at Florida tracks like Daytona and Sebring.
