looking for carbs

Howdy I am a new user looking for multi carb set-ups (maybee new?) for a chevy (almost stock) 350 cu inch motor. I am building a duce roadster. I thought about old-school style hilborne injectors...but the cost is a little too much. I like mutli carbs but i dont think i want 2 four barels. maybee three or more?? any advice would be helpfull

My brother in law just put a Barry Grant six pack on his ZZ383 and after changing jets a few times is very happy with its performance. Four dueces would be something not often seen.

You said..."almost stock"...............Multiple carbs work better if the engine is not "almost stock"..........You will tend to be overcarburated.
