Thinking about the recent stabs at small cubes, adequate carburetors, understanding carburetors and intake choices. For an inexperienced hobest this would raise some doubts if they could afford it and how they are effecting the environment. For those who know better it is boring.
If someone wants to tweak a big carb to run on the street good for them. Not likely to get the best fuel mileage or low carbon but it can be done successfully while opening up all the power potential.
If another person wants to build a daily driver that can effectively handle the duties of a $70,000 King Ranch good for them. Not likely it will get the same mileage or be as fast but it can be done successfully. Using 50+ year old technology does not always translate pollutant or being undependable.
I have had it both ways at one time or another. For arguments sake say most could write a convincing article about how wrong a conservative hobbiest is or out source them with certifications. That's fine. There is allways someone one step ahead of you. As for me I just figure it out. My 352/SP2P/Quadrjet powered truck starts, goes anywhere and stops with anything I have a mind to hook it.
One weekend I met my wife for lunch at Whataburger. After witnessing guys swarming around the 20' dump bed filled with dirt and concrete hooked to my truck she suggested I start taking pictures. Good idea, compared to stock 352/360 trucks I wouldn't have believed it either.
