    That's an understatement!

    Plugs and fuel injection in the sparkplug holes plus a carb via the standard intake ports?
    So what's up with those velocity stacks???

    That's not 1972 era technology on there ...

    I need to have this one explained ?

    Stacks are fake and intended to look like an injected Offy.

    They just hide the spark plugs. The wiring is a rats nest.


    Would have been far cooler if he had used Maser intake manifolds and some IDA's.

    Looks like a parts kit for what could be kind of a cool car. With that power to weight ratio and that dodgy throttle set up no way I'd be driving it.

    What's really interesting is that on the velocity stacks on one side is a TPI, throttle position indicator, as is needed for a electronic fuel injection system. Why you would include that with the carb sitting in the middle is a mystery as is the linkage for the velocity stacks butterflies.

    So the linkage and modern TPS on the ends is also fakey fake?

    Seems like a lot of work for such an odd looking fake.
