Some of the ones that were used on radial aircraft engines in the 1940s were massive things, designed to support engines displacing a thousand cubic inches or more. When my father's competitors on the Tennessee and Kenticky dirt tracks in the early 1950s were running three Stromberg 97s, his car ran a single BIG Zenith 2 barrel for an Interrnational truck inline six engine- - - - -and outran them routinely.
