This engine will be a high RPM toy designed to make small block V8 owners go home with egg on their faces after getting smoked at a stoplight by a 6 cylinder that sounds like a bumblebee on steroids. I'll be doing the dyno work needed to make a 3-carb setup work, which is a LOT simpler than making two carbs even marginally successful on an inline six. The carbs are Harley Davidson EVO Mikuni diaphragm/piston types, and they'll essentially be feeding one cylinder at a time due to the firing order. They will be easy to jet for proper mixture, and they'll have the right CFM to work that way. Most people put two carbs on, each big enough to run the engine by themselves, and expect some miracle to happen that keeps the fuel system from running so lean the backfires will blow the air cleaners off.
