Hi Rich, did you also notice the gold-colored oval air filters this
setup used? Stamp "AC" on it and you could use one of them on a Tiger.
Except that these are even more rare than Tiger air cleaners. About
$1200 last time I saw one, 6-pak of beer was extra.
A friend who is a devout Mopar nut has a '61 Plymouth with those long
cross rams. First drive in one is a bit un-nerving as you release the
gas pedal, the engine is still burning all the fuel that's still inside
those long intake runners and continues to make power for about 1 or 2
seconds more. Makes you think the throttle is stuck open. Butt ugly,
but with two big Carter AFB's hanging off each side of a 426 "wedge" -
it's one powerful beast!
