Default Cleveland 3-deuces for 4V heads

The Cleveland 3-deuce set-up, like most Cleveland performance parts of the era, was designed for 4-barrel heads only.

The 3-2 set-up was originally designed for a 366cid version of the Cleveland engine that never made it into production vehicles.

Here is what the set-up looked like on my Pantera:



The tri-power looked great, and ran very well, but I still couldn't resist putting FOUR carburetors up there instead of three.

Here's what it looked like from the interior of the Pantera:



That car was a lot of fun - the Webers made a lot more noise (than they do in a Cobra) positioned right behind your head. When you stomped the throttle, it sounded like that Cleveland was sucking in the entire Earth's atmosphere! What a sound!
