Default Lorus Modified Holley Carburetor. Wild!

I have done some research and apparantly this was a 70's piece. Pretty wild. I don't know CFM but you were suppose to use a Holley double pumper for the other parts for the main body.

They almost look like 3bbl secondary doors. I haven't checked the number on them yet. I guess technically, its a 2 barrel.

I've NEVER seen or heard of these before but it looks very cool. Many, many years ago my carb guy and I talked about doing something similar with a couple of 3-bbl Holleys I had laying around for a drag racing class that required a 4150 carb.

It would be interesting to send that carb to Eric and let him compare it on the dyno versus a couple of known good race carbs...
