dlampe,
Just bear in mind, the entire engine specs are completely different for a Weber set up over that of a single 4 bbl. spec setup. Do you have the research and support for maintaining and keeping a system like that in "sync" over a Holley AAA carb, that is hard enough to keep in proper tune, especially for track conditions.
Shelby American abandoned them in favor of 4 bbls. at LeMans and on thru the later decades for a reason. I understand that later EFI and the related electronic controls came into play, but those were tunable very easily thru the "old black boxes" aka early laptops, that the engineers used in racing.
Yes, they look like a million bucks!, but might require that type of budget to be competitive also.
Jeff
