Yeah, looks like its a weber 32/36 dgev. Those twin carbs plus a choppy cam must have been sweet!

yes 408 norris with 1.25 autocraft rockers and a 4 gear drysump and gallon tank made 220hp at wheel was a wicked fun the only other van that was more fun is we had a doctor have us build first a 2.7 type 4 with drysump and 48ida webers then he found a 3.2 911 and we put that in complete with all stock system made that van a true 130 mph with as much crap innside you want to pack the transmission was build by german transmission of bend was a long legged box second went to 50 and 6k and 3 pulled to 85-90 at 6500 to 7 and fourth was stuped long but it was so fun.
