Dummy tripower set for 350 chevy

[Dilsterboy]

Hey guys, for my lemans I though it would very cool if I put old school tripower set up with 3 2 barrel carbs. But i dont want to hog fuel down. So I though why not have a dummy tripower, kinda like a dummy blower. A super charger just for show but really isnt real. So i would have my 4 barrel carb but have 2 none working 2 barrels because i think tri power set ups are awsome looking. What do you guys think?

Tripower runs on the center carb for normal driving so it doesnt hog fuel. Original tripower setups are very expensive. I have no idea how or where you are going to have a setup with a 4bbl and two 2bbl just sitting on the 4bbl intake? If you figure out how let us know.

Well i still want to power of a 4 barrel, but the look of a 3 carb
Thats all

Umm, I just don't think that's possible...at all. Seriously, a single 4bbl carb with 2 2bbl's would look pretty silly. And I don't even think there would be room for 2 carbs with a 4bbl. You should just look for a real tri power setup. And I have to say it, how bout a Pontiac motor in your Pontiac?
