You do have an
option today. Buy a nice looking car and put an Edelbrock
engine, four-barrel, intakes, etc. in it.
Four barrel ???? That would be a step backwards. I'm currently
running 3x 2 barrels on an Edelbrock designed intake. (original 1970 Dodge
Challanger RT convertible with 440 six-pack)
Anyone here old enough to remember this:
Well, I stepped off the pavement into my cut-down-short...
Cat in the next lane, says, "Man, you look like a real sport."
He said "when that light turns green, I'm gonna dig out ahead of you."
Well, I answered him back, like about the, only way I could... <-
wrong lyric
.......vvvvvVVVVVVRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
I got three carburetors....
...twin pipes...
I got three carburetors....
...milled heads...
I got three carburetors and no-body's passin' me...
<insert walking saxomophone bridge>
So, I pulled up to the stoplight, just my baby and me.
Same cat pulled upside, he was GREEN with N-V.
He said "man, what you got under that crazy, fat hood"
Well, I answered him back, like about the, only way I could...
.......vvvvvVVVVVVRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
...
Well, I wheeled off of the highway, and down under the underpass,
when all of a sudden, I was like Ooo, out of gas!
dah-dah-dah-dah-dom-dom
dom-dom
"Well, man, what happened?" dom-dom
"I don't know, I can't dig this scene, something's gotta give"
dom-dom
"Well, fella, I dig on your predicment. You got
...three carburetors....
...twin pipes...
I got three carburetors....
...milled heads...
I got three carburetors and no-body's passin' me...
Gas mileage? What's that? Actually
it's not too bad. I get
about 15-16 MPG on the highway. But you should see what the gas gauge does
when I put my foot to it and the second and third of carbs kick in!
I still get chills when I hear the blower on the 327 on Mad Max's
car in the first movie... didn't that have an Edelbrock manifold?
