Well yes, sort of.  I have seen a twin down-draft 2 bl (holly/weber  DGV al
la Pinto, Vega) for the TR6.  Looks kinda funky though as its not really a
manifold but a pair of adapters that bolt onto your existing manifold.  The
carb is mounted with both barrels in line with the wheel axles, or 90 deg
from crankshaft centerline-but I agree, a properly setup manifold with a 390
cfm holly, vacuum operated secondarys would be a real sweet setup.  Had one
on my AMC six and loved it!
