225 Carb question.

[914Driver]

Has anyone ever put six flat slide Mikuni MC carbs on a 225 six?

I'm not looking for a huge project, but as a tinkerer and machinist I thought some square tube stainless times six would be cool.

Can they deliver enough fuel?

I've seen 1, 2 and 4 barrels, this is a direct blast per cylinder.

What do you think?

Being a snowmobiler I have had these evil thoughts aswell. My 1000cc 4 cylinder 11,000rpm engine has 4 BSR37 millimeter carbs on it.The older ones had individual cables tugging on each carb, making syncronizing all valve openings a bitch with cable stretch.The newer one has all 4 tied together on a common bar pulled by one cable, making life good.
I think the biggest hurdle is sizing then linkage.These carbs are very expensive new, but if you have access to a bunch of same carbs, I think it's a wicked cool idea.
May only work with manual clutch though.

This set-up looks amazing and...well...scary. I can't wait until we get to tune it. The guys at http://www.slantsix.org/forum/index.php will really get a kick out of this.

This type of fabrication effort is what defines Hot Rodding. Keep up the good work and definitely keep up posted on the results.
