In case anyone gets the idea that a single Weber DCOE will be
worthwhile, I crewed on a Super with a 1500/1-40 in 66 and 67. The
intake manifold is the worst the mind of man ever devised. It just
wouldn't produce any power. Dual Webers on the 1500 didn't become SCCA
legal for another generation - into the 80's, I believe. The 1340 was a
hand grenade, because it had only 3 main bearings(1 liter block, I
believe).
