Not sure about the dual side draft carbs. The intake looks like a nice piece and they are costly to replace on these babies! I know as a marine engine it would be designed to run pretty much half to full throttle constantly, so this seems like a good combination for the strip for higher operating range. Any input? Has anyone else run this setup in a hot street car or drag application? Looks like it could be an awesome intake for turbocharged application! Don't have the money for that right now...lol.

Now I have to disagree with you guys! I think that intake would be perfect if turbocharged. And why need to stick with carbs? Two small throttle bodys from aftermarket or from motorcycles, one or two small turbos from junkyard and DIY or modified Ford 8-point EFi and it could be done to produce lot's of torque and about 300-350 HP. And maybe even with only two or four bigger size injectors fitted on top of that plenum would work. Just go for it! You don't need to be like others...

And, it has been done before to work in Hot Rods with carbs too...
