just an idea

I am already thinking this might be overkill, but I am eager to hear what the rest of you think. Would it be completely over kill to direct mount 3 motorcraft 2100 carbs to a late model log head on a very well built motor? I am really curius about this. I am already doing an offy 3x1 on one of my motors and I have another in the garage I wouldn't mind tinkering with a little bit, and for some reason triple 2 brrls sounds like it would be fun, if it was possible to do it and not completely flood the motor.

xecute is pondering something like that. in fact he has a thread in the hardcore section about it.

Check on the inliners site. There was a guy running a chevy 250 (I think) with a 3x4bbl set-up (!).

Not sure if the carb you're talking about is a progressive one (think half a 4 bbl), but I'd think that would be the preferable way to go. That way you're running on smaller primaries to keep the mpg reasonable until you mash the gas. Of course, it'd be a hassle to set up all the throttle linkage, but once set it should be ok. Just my $.02

I've read on this site of people running two two barrel webers/holley webers. They are mechanically progressive carbs, ( operate off a primary until mechanical linkage opens secondary), and would work well in a multiple carb set-up.

If you can work out the linkage geometery so the outer two carbs didn't open at all until half throttle and all carbs reached WOT at the same time, you wouldn't increase fuel usage unless you ran over half throttle more than not.

The Holley/Webers from Stovebolt would be pretty cheap and you could even use the Offy tri carb manifold and Stovebolt adapters to install. That would be a pretty slick set up if you could get the carb tuning/jetting right.
