Really nice looking motors. Perfect for a 60s Mustang

Dont y'all think that dual quads are overkill for a 281 CI motor??

It all depends on how high the motor is built to rev up to ie: cams, headwork, intake and converter

Zack can be the guinea pig since he said he wanted to do a carb swap if the KB car failed him, which it hasn't!

Hey Zack, maybe something for your Blue? Guaranteed to be unique!

I'm not so sure about that.

When I got my first car, I knew virtually nothing about cars and engines. I had to depend on others to keep going. Soon I was doing my own tune ups and maintenance. Eventually I was changing head gaskets, lashing valves, changing timing belts, and replacing transmissions.

Today I have a car that, if it were to start missing, I'd have no idea where to begin. I don't have the tools, time, or money to diagnose or fix stuff myself. The car goes to the dealership. Once again I'm dependant on others. Not what I'd call progress.

My next car will have at least one carburetor. I think a Marauder with 14-1 compression, running E-85, and dual fours, sounds good to me.

That'd be a great motor for a street rod, it'd be very different from what you normally see. Plus it'd mix modern tech with old school fuel/air and look. I think it'd be a neat combination definitely would draw some attention.
