Help on building A tri powr set up for a SBC

I am currently building 3x2 setup on a 1985 350. i have 3 small base 2gc's and a intake. i have the choke that works off of heat from the exhaust. the one thing that i am unsure of is the secondary carbs. i know you are supposed to have different butterflies in the base but i am not sure. I was wondering of anything else has to be changed in the secondary carbs? blocking of the idle circuits and what not. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

I contemplated the same setup for my sbc, I had a link that showed how to block the idle circuits but I'll be damned if I can find it. I planned on blocking the secondary carbs idle circuits and running a progressive linkage set up. Hunt around a bit and you will find the info needed.

Also make sure the throttle plates on the secondary carbs completely shut. Ive heard its a nightmare to tune if they dont.
