    and thats like saying my 302 doesnt need 750,


    [QUOTE=IC2]A street driven car needs heat and small carbs. Two 600 cfm carbs even with a progressive type linkage is way too much. A single 500 CFM on a 350 is just about right for 90% of driving, with a 600 as a nice choice when you want to kick it in the butt:

    Size = (Engine CI x RPM) /3456 X Volumetric efficiancy

    = (350 x 6000) / 3456 x .85

    = 516 CFM TOTAL !!!!

    Yeah Scooter, but not everyone twists their motor to 9,000 like you do.

    Thanks for all the replies.

    I'm still in "thinking" mode on the engine for this project, but I know I want multiple carbs just for the look. I know, I know that's probably not a good reason, but you gotta admit, they sure do look cool.

    My original plan was 3 dueces because I'm running a set on my 46 and know how to make them work. Price wise, either setup is about the same. Actually, the 2x4 may be a little cheaper.

    The dual quads sound like a real challenge, but I'm crazy enough to take on a "lost cause" challenge every now and then.
