Get 2 big a$$ hog-lly carbs and put it on a 455. If you don't drown the motor with fuel maybe you can hit 88 MPH and travel back in time... Helloooooo McFliiiiiy...

I have one of those NOS still in the box which I purchased years ago for my 66 442 and then decided not to use it since I preferred the Tri-Power setup...

How does one run them? Two four barrel Holleys I assume. Are they set to run in parallel, like the front carb copies the back carb, or do you go on the front two barrels then dump 6 in when you hammer it?

I ran a few back in the eighties and nineties on small block Chevys
I ran the smallest Holley 4-barrel I could, the the front carb was the primary and had it hooked on a progressive type linkage and the rear was a secondary wasn't bad didn't have enough gear though so you had the feather into it... But it was a blast I can't remember a car that I had as much fun as one of those things hanging out the hood....

This thing is freaking huge I'm really amazed at how big it actually is and heavy holy crap it takes two people to pick it up... I had to carry that thing through the swap meet and of course it was as far as away from the truck as it could be... suuuucked

Looks like a rat rod toy to me. That thing would draw a crowd at a car show stuffed in to a thirty something pickup with a exposed engine..... Tedd
