What I would like to run is two Weber 2 barrels [check this link] https://www.cliffordperformance.net/ But that will be when I win the lottery some day. I love the looks of Tri-power I had some on a old 235 but it drove me nuts trying to get 3 carbs in tune. Here is a pic of my 230...Vernski

Thanks to all. now on to the disc brakes !

**TJ's Chevy** · 04-01-2013, 06:29 PM

Speaking of disc breaks, those darn things are so expensive! Espacially on an early
chevy. They are cool though, especially on a lowered 55 chevy!

Hey slepysal,
You up to a race?

HE, he, he.

Heres mine, not perfect but run like a champ! I plan to put a video of it running soon in my build thread.

I know the 2 barrel down to the 1 barrel looks wierd, but it works pretty good.
Plan on puttin a clifford on there with a 500 cfm Edelbrock.
