Lawn mower carb on V8

Pretty neat.

I think it's pretty neat too, but not surprising to me. Check out most carb's on 30's, 40's and 50's cars and they're pretty much lawn mower single barrel carbs. It doesn't take 400 hp to be driveable and go down the road at 70 mph. 60-80 hp is more than enough.
As for the carb install itself, I can't help think that turning the whole thing 90 degrees would have solved the dist to air filter problem and made the throttle cable super easy...

Yeah, those were my sentiments as well, especially why did he not turn the intake side ways, just like a 302 EFI intake.........

It may have occurred to him too...but after 32 hours printing that base he was stuck with it.
I must have missed a video where he set up the AFR corrector. It's an interesting concept because it's way too slow to handle anything but steady-state. So that's almost like an accelerator pump since you'll see the 12.x:1 on all the transient conditions waiting for that IAC to move. So nothing here that EFI shouldn't do better. To me a single trip doesn't really count for a MPG calculation, especially when you're trying for mileage and start with a warm engine. I've gotten my car over 40MPG on a single trip and still had an average over a couple of tanks closer to 25MPG. Hopefully he'll drive it like that for a while to get good numbers.
Still interesting results. Makes you wonder how a Quadrajet with 3/4" primaries would work.

He needs to print a new carb adapter. One that runs dual carburetors, one to each bank of the dual plane intake manifold.
