If you’ll make the intake with a removable top, you can make several tops with each fitting different carburetor combinations. Here’s a couple of pics of an example to get you started.

I've often thought about adding one barrels in front and behind the 4V on my Y to add a little power when I really hit the gas.

What I would really like to see is 8 X 1 intake! :w00t:. Just need eight single barrel Holleys or Solex carbs to make it happen....

Ok, too much whiskey and juice tonight....

I have been thinking about making up an intake for my 292. I was thinking about making a hot 4V, but then I thought about other configurations.
These are the carbs I have:
4 holley 2Vs from Mopar 360s (identical, about 200 cfm each)

7 solexs for Volvo B230 (about 170 CFM each)

1 Holley 4V from Y

These are what I thought about making with what I have:

1 X 6
4 X 2

this could be groovy:
2 X 2 with 3 X 1 between them as secondaries.

Is it just a horrible idea to make a freak intake, or could this be a really unique part that functions well?
