But don't you think the best solution would be to have the carburetors mounted straight to the head, Jon? With any multiple carburetor manifold you're going to have interference zones, dead zones and places where air flow just can't work correctly, aren't you? Places where the flow rather argues with itself. Always seemed to me that was bound to happen, and I've always thought that was the reason for the design of the Corvette 235. If all the money spent on multi-carb manifolds, carburetors, linkages, etc was put into a pile, I'm certain there'd be plenty to fund development of a well-designed head. Actually there's no doubt in my mind it could be converted to a fuel injected head with the technology available today and one could even return to John DeLorean's scheme of overhead camshaft. Of course we'd still have a dandied-up tractor engine with a long wobbly crank, only 4 main bearings and spindly rods sitting underneath it, but at least it could breathe right for once in all these decades.
