When I bought my 48, it came with a bed full fo extra parts including some rusty old heads with the intakes and mainfolds still installed. I have about four of these combo's and have thought about making my own two carb setup out of a combination of these. What I was thinking was to block off the existing mounting plate and cut the intake pipes and splice in the carb mounting plates from the other intakes. I would do all the welding with the intake solidly mounted to one of the old heads to prevent warpage. I used to be pretty good at welding cast iron, and this sounds like a fun project. A single four barrel would even be easier. What do you think?
