Induction question?

Can anyone tell me what induction system was produced by Ford.

that :

Has four inline throats contained within the same body (one piece
I saw in some time back on a small block ford.

I can't seem to find it under fuel injection by ford

If it's not fuel injection what carburetor was built with an inline
carburetor body with four throats?

Quite interesting and would be interested in finding one for my project.

Autolight 1450 inline carb. Typically used on "Cross Boss" intakes that had tops for one or two of these beasts.

As already stated, this is the Cross Boss induction system, available in either a single inline 4 unit, or a cross induction twin inline for unit. For a track only car, I say go for it....Otherwise, I suggest a more modern day alternative like Waynes set up..................Had the cross ram induction unit on a 1970 BOSS 302 I had back in 1983......Wide open, it ran great, otherwise, it was just not streetable......leaks (like MrBruce on this other thread) were a constant problem..........Even after sending them up for a complete overhaul.................
