EFI is overrated after messing about w/ GM EFI systems for years I dropped it all and went old school myself. 4 Dellorto DHLA45 tri jets off a (2) Lotus Esprit Turbo. Fuel lines are not on it in this pic, nor are the intercoolers, the ducting, the aeromootive A2000 regulator and misc. lines & stuff.


It's all custom one off stuff (this is not a moon crossram, it's a custom piece)

that looks simply amazing!!!!

the soune of 4 side draft carbs on a four pot is amazing, so 8 on a v8 will be sublime!

nice to see these cabs being used intsed of the more traditional styles! where you get the intake manis from?

thanks Chris.

well as a slight update. I got it running and took it down the driveway and back tonight. I am having troubles getting an idle from it....but I think the float level just needs adjusted for that and maybe the air screws opened some more (350cfm holley carb) I got some little things to do also and then it is going out on the road for a few shakedown runs

I pulled it up the drive tonight with the wastegate not working (vac line not ran yet) and the pump no boost referenced (epoxy on it failed a couple days ago) so I just pulled a part throttle 1st holeshot and it seemed pretty strong with just that

the manifold is a custom cast piece, it looks like a moon crossram (sold by inglese) but it's different and has "tower" for the linkage in the center. It's 4 carbs, on 4 cyls they use 2 (they are double barrel carbs)..each 2 cyls share a carb but they all have their own barrel so it's an individual runner system
