This is my '32 coupe ,it's an Elvis body,the first unchopped '32 he ever did.
The motor is a tunnlerammed 1957 392 Hemi , with a Chrysler Tri-carb six-pak set up.And B&M TH400.
The chassis has been pinched 2" & kicked up 1" in the front, and bobbed & kicked up 2" in the bumb.
It's been 3yrs in the making.

that is a good looking intake, the finned filters take some edge off the holleys.
i think most people will be so impressed with the engine bay they will overlook the carbs not being a 60s thing.
What year do you reckon holley tripower came along 70s maybe?
To me what you got looks tough, 6x2s are a bit over done, 3x2s (stromberg or 94 holley) look good on a low intake.

I'm pretty sure Mopars use the Holley six-pak set up through the early '70's, on 383's, 440's & even 426's.

I did try to keep the "fins" theme right 'round the car,from the motor to the dashand even the front drums (disc covers).

My T bucket and my 67 Vette both had Holleys in the 60's.
