why? because he wants to I suppose. Headers give the same benefit to a straight six as to any other engine. Dual carburetors give the same benefit to a straight six as to any other engine. Of course you have to do modifications to be able to reap the benefits, just like any other engine. You can't just throw twin carburetors on a stock v-8 and expect it to work. Putting a v-8 in one of these truck is very effective, but it is so much the sheep mentality, any one can do that.
