    What size engine? What year engine? Should operate fine on center carb. Cam and the right heads , even factory hipo heads for 3x2 set up.

    Factory 3x2 used a better cam and heads than a stock run of the mill. What are the numbers on your current heads ?

    Not really sure on that intake...…………...but...………….I am currently doing 4 Rochester 2j on a SBC. Since vertical height is an issue, we didn't use the ( almost 1/4 inch thick )plastic spacers only to find without them, we didn't have any vacuum. We put the spacers back on and everything seems to work
    this was taken with just gaskets

  10. I ran that exact same Fenton Tri power on a 400ci. With spacers. Never tried it without so can't comment. Was a great setup.
