Some of the pictures show the engine with a dual quad carb setup. I have this edelbrock intake and twin edelbrock 650 cfm carburetor setup that can go with the sale. The engine was overfueled with this setup so it was swapped out for the current single Holley carburetor and intake manifold.
Please email with any questions. Vehicle is available to be shown. This is a very fun car that turns a lot of heads. It is not a perfect show car but a great driver and a rare car. The engine does smoke a little on the right bank when warmed up- not bad but noticeable if you’re looking for it. I’m not sure if it is an oil ring on one cylinder, valve seal or something else. I have two young kids and since this is a two seat car, I just don’t get to enjoy it as much as I’d like to, especially with the short summers in MI. The vehicle is being sold As-Is with no warranty. Please feel free to ask questions or set up an appt. to see it before bidding.
