And nothing says "I'm screwed" like the owner who"just bolted them on".
Can you give some definitave reasoning for your above statement?
3 intake ports, 3 small carbs above the ports equal better air fuel mixture to all 6 cylinders. Have you seen the dyno reports by Bill Fisher or Leo?
The only issue I see in using 3 carbs is a possible loss of low end torque do to lower intake velocity. Again with a perfectly setup system, it could be more effecient and crank out more HP at the same time. I agree it could be challenging to setup a perfect system, but not impossible.
