Single or dual quad 427 s/o?

[RICK LAKE]

Flygirl Natalie What are you looking for? A super cool look when you pop the hood? Something that no one else runs? Or just simple function? Manifolds and carbs come in different designs. Single carb single manifold, dual carb inline manifold, dual carb crossram manifold, ( one of my favorates) This is the same manifold as on the 200 mph Cosby cobra without blowers. It doesn't make the best power and tuning is ok but not great. Weber carbs and 4, 2barrels, what a look and work to get running well. Big price but TOO COOL to look at. Power wise, depending on motor a 10-30 torque and HP increase over any carb or carbs. If you have about 7g a set of 58MM webers will leave them with dropped jaws. The easiest is a single carb and manifold that has been ported to even up the Air/Gas flow to all 8 cylinders. I built a FI system 14 years ago for my car. Have not had a problem with it. IMO carbs are original and look great but other systems all need more work and time to get them to run right "everyday". IF you put a Large air cleaner assembly on the carb or carbs, you can't see them to well. I would say to have the intake manifold flow checked and ported to help the motor run better and pickup a couple of extra HP's. Rick L. Ps weather it's 1 carb or 8, it's the equipment for checking and testing for having the carbs work at there best. An A/F exhaust meter is a great place to start and vacuum gauge. If running a weber get an air flow meter that sit in the opening. When motors run right there is a sound they make that sounds like music. You will learn this with time and tuning. I heard a 482 motor and a set of 58MM OLbergs at a Run&gun in 01, there is nothing like it when they clear out and sync with the motor. It is one of the fastest street car without poweradders and under 12.0 compression. Have a nice day.
