Has anyone ever heard of a Packard Six (prewar) being modified by putting on dual carbs? With such a long stroke, low rpm engine does this make any sense? A dumb idea?
You can't name an engine someone hasn't already hot-rodded many years ago, because it's not always about horsepower. I build obsolete engines and many times it's about the customer wanting something different than a belly-button SBC. Often different costs three times the money for half the horsepower.
It would be relatively easy to make a two, three or four carb intake for the Packard six. Wouldn't make that much more horsepower, but would be an attention-getter at shows. That's the goal for most.
