Dual carb/split intake


p24-1953

Recommended Posts

There is no free lunch in carburetor setup. An improvement in air flow at high speed comes at the expense of transition performance (acceleration). Multiple carburetors make sense in a racing car, but not in a daily driver. Nowadays it would be weird to race the old Mopars.

Could I have a tube join all 3 together? Would that help? Should it be near the top or bottom?

A lot of British cars ran individual runners on their engines without any cross tube 

think it would be an interesting exercise in tuning. Clifford research may give you some insight. You've already made the manifolds so I'd go for it

Precise syncing is a must with individual, separate runners. With a common plenum you don’t have to be as precise and is much more forgiving.  

Multiple carbs tuned and set correctly on these straight sixes give a “street” driven car improved driveability as well as a little bit more power but it will never be a race car.
