Hey Tim. Not the engine I am putting in. It is suppose to be already rebuilt. But I think I have plans for the old one. Part of it includes a 3X2 intake. Then it goes to what I need to feed that. lol

My Dad's 272 has a 3-2 fenten set up on it, he could never quite get all three carb to run right together. My brothers always joke that when he went to Heaven, he asked God the secret behind the 3-2 set up. And God said, Tom, the secret is they can't work! Lol!  Tim

lol. Your probably right there! I am fortunate enough to know a 70 year old street racer that really knows carbs well. And he said he will help

I imagine if he had some carbs that were better than the Strombirds he had, his luck might have changed!
