Don't misunderstand what I am saying, but WHY?  Two 4 V carbs will make more power than 3 x 2, and be easier to work on in the long run.  Just because something can be done, does not mean it is better.  And, yes, I do own a TW and raced it for years with 600s/660s/750s.  The 660s were best on my 452CI MR.  Joe-JDC

I've seen it done on a Cammer by using one of Dove's 'spider' intakes with a custom plate on the top of the bathtub. I watched one day of dyno tuning. Three sets of carbs were used. If I remember correctly a 350 in the middle and 500s on the ends worked best.

"Why" would be in order to idle/putz along on one set of 2 barrels, the center carb, with the remaining 4V available from there to WOT.  Possibly better fuel distribution overall.  All theoretical and possible.

a "flock of ducks" is just plain cool looking. I say go for it.
