[DeTomaso] Tri Power for 351C

I have 3 X 2bbl setup on my Pantera. I'm using an Interchangeable manifold, built the adaptor for the three Holley's on top. It's a tight fit but it does fit. Bowl of the forward carb hangs over the distributor, and the air box is less than a 1/4" away from the unmodified decklid. I have a progressive linkage setup. I've only done some short runs so far. I need to do some tuning, but the GRIN factor is high! snappy acceleration!

  <<What do you all think of this? Any benefits from using 3 carbs?>> 


  Don't know about "real" performance benefits from the Tri-Power set up, but on the Pantera you're going to have to think about the clearance problem with the deck lid.  Bob Richards (San Diego Panteras) has a factory tri-power set up on his Pantera and it required some modification to the manifold to fit without trimming the deck lid.  I ran three Rochester 2G's on my small block Chevy years ago and loved the combination.  Ran on the middle carb and then kicked in the two outboard carbs with progressive linkage.  I've seen the advertisements for the new Barry Grant tri-power combinations...cool looking, but quite pricey.  Will be interesting to see what the final bid is on eBAY for this assembly....should be quite impressive..they're at $1,325 with five days to go!
   
  Good luck,
   
  Bob
