    I have seen pictures of a set up with 8 single barrel carbs. Anyone know how they pulled this off and what carbs they used? Just curious.

    Thanks

    Why couldn't you make 8 small adapters that would bolt to the Weber pattern and have the correct holes and alignment for 8 "uno-jet" carbs?

    Rule one in Codman's 10 commandments of mechanical design is as follows:

    "Thou shalt design components in the least complicated manner; aggravation is proportional to the square of the number of parts in the assembly."

    A single 4bbl carburetor has an aggravation factor of 1. Eight carburetors would have an aggravation factor of 64. No thanks!:blast:
