Small block tri-weber setup
I saw an interesting carb setup for a small block in the latest (August) XK's Unlimited brochure, and I'd like to know if anyone has experience with it. XK's Unlimited finishes cars for Shelby here in California, and is based in San Luis Obispo (hey, where I got my engineering degree!)
The setup is what looks like three weber carbs, lined up perpendicularly to the row of cylinders, like this > ::: (as looking down on the engine at the horns, from the side) or like this > ||| (as if looking down at the carbs). The carbs have a "progressive linkage" which I assume means that the middle carb opens first, followed by the two end ones.
This is opposed to the typical four IDA weber application, which would look something like this > :::: (horns) and this == (carbs). This setup is not advised for street use, as I've read.
Get the picture?
Anyhow, it's a nice look, and is purportably "streetable". Anyone familiar with this setup?
I'll try to get a picture posted.
