Individual Runner Carburetion

cool !!
I have a pair of these carbs as well.
Mine have the chrome trumpets coming off the tops !
Just be careful with over 2000 CFM it may suck the roof in !!

Wow George,
Those are some monsters, what are your plans for a engine to go with those,

Mark

Very nice! Look forward to hearing what it sounds like!

The foundation of the motor shall be one of Tod Buttermore's alloy blocks, with 4.125" bores. It'll have an aftermarket crank with a 3.75" stroke, therefor the displacement shall be 402 cubic inches. CHI 4V heads are selected because they are the only alloy heads with 4V sized ports needed to mate with the 4V sized runners of the tunnel ram. Compression ratio will be set at 10.0:1. I'll have a hydraulic roller cam ground to my specs, which will seek to mimic the powerband of a Boss motor, i.e. a mildly burbling idle, lots of vacuum, wide flat torque curve, peak torque at 4000 rpm, peak bhp at 6000 rpm, over rev to 7000 rpm. I don't have a horsepower goal, but I suspect it will fall in the 450 BHP range.

The motor is conservative, with reliability and drivability my two major concerns. After I retire from my weekday job I'll be taking my act on the road, putting a lot of miles on the Pantera traveling around the US and Canada. The wild looking induction system is there strictly for curb appeal.

Great looking set up George!
You always come up with the coolest intake
set ups.

Or, would that be "carb" appeal.

OK George, I'm jealous....where does one get a setup like that?

I tried to find a pic of it...but the outlaw class drag racers go with a individual runner setup. They use half of a four barrel and place it over the runners to provide better power and throttle response. Art Morrision came up with the idea and that was the setup he was testing when he was killed in his Pro Stock Camaro. He had taken two dominators and cut them in half!!

No gary Like these. I found this article detailing the work required to (I even found the correct term for this procedure!) "split" the carbs.

I looked at Quick fuels website and saw no mention of these carbs. But they are the company profiled in this article.

Drag racing split Dommys are not typically (or ever to my knowledge?) IR. The Dommys are split to promote better fuel distribution in the plenum and thus each cylinder, but each barrel is not an isolated, independent runner.

The TransAm Dual Dommy set up that George refers to was IR.
