Default Wow!

David,

That is really impressive. You have done some really nice work. I was looking to do the same thing that Superhart wants to do but when I saw a picture of how the 351w with the 302 dual 4v manifold and adapterplates I just didn't like the look. For one thing the adapter plates are very visible. Secondly I'm pretty sure that you have to use a different style carb because the carb spacing is closer. The effect is that you have to use smaller air cleaners and in my opinion it just doesn't look right. Your custom setup looks great! It looks just like the 427 setups I've seen.
I still want the dual 4bbl look some day so when I order my car I'm taking the easy route and getting the 460. (Dual 4bbl manifolds are readily available for the 460)
Once again nice work!

John
