Here is an interesting one (not my photo). Small block Chevy fans will immediately recognize that something is afoot. Smokey ran this motor for a short time, can't remember which year, but it finally got banned. Not "production based". See if you can figure out why...

I'm going to guess that a large single 4bbl is simpler (more reliable) and makes enough/as much power as a more complex setup with two 4bbls would.
Interesting heads!
