OK Rowen. I assumed you sold the Holley 4000's since I saw the add marked sold.

KULTULZ : The carbs Rowe has are two 1956 Ford Holley 4000 teapots (single 4V carbs) that I restored and set up for a dual 4 barrel engine.

OK.... THANX! for that info...

KULTULZ, it's a date Code 1957 312 sleeved down to a stock 292 bore. stock 312 crank and rods. 10.5:1 forged domed probe (Mummert) pistons. Clay Smith 292S cam. Mummert 4v dual plane aluminum intake with a edelbrock 600. I bought the engine as a abandoned project a couple years ago. The headers are REX performance. As close to a "true" header that I could find. They are a very tight fit but went in mounted without scratching anything. John Beck in Chico did all the machining and assembly. This car ought to ROCK!! It's my retirement gift to myself. Thanks Jim. Your place will one of my first stops when I get her on the road. And you Sal are not off the hook yet,...as I said, those WILL go on in the future and I will be giving you a holler when it happens.

Sal,

Allow me to go off-topic ... ... again and ask since you are so familiar with the 8V setups.

I am a$$-u-me(ing) all of these were dual plane intakes (for street use). Did you ever come across any progressive linkage designs?

It seems to me that it would make a set much more street-able and hopefully cut down on fuel usage.
