Not Ranked
I realize that this concept may appear "deceptive" to some and "silly" to others but to me it represents another expression of creativity that makes these cars so interesting and so much fun.
I personally did not want the expense, extra weight, and outrageous horse power of the 427SO in my car but I DID want the LOOK. Developing these adapters in conjunction with the builder of my car is a stepping stone in that direction. I supplied the design, he supplied the materials sources. Nothing looks sexier than a dual quad setup nestled between those distinctive pentroof valve covers. I am modifying a 351W Offenhauser 360* intake for dual quads since no one makes a dual quad intake for the 351W. There will be a pair of Holleys mounted backwards, original type carb linkage, coolant expansion tank, and the pentroof covers to complete the picture.
COMING THIS WEEKEND: additional photos of the adapters mounted on a amall block cylinder head showing all angles of the installation plus photos of the completed installation on the 351W in my car. I can't do it sooner since I am recovering from Coronary Artery Bypass surgery nd the Warden (my wife) refuses to allow me in the garage for any reason until I am released by the surgeon on Friday.
