You go spend the money, we'll tinker around with the old stuff we find for cheap.
Bobby, the hardest part to doing the TQ as you thought of is sealing up the phenolic resin as so not to leak gasoline. Making a big single throttle blade is the easy part.
I'm in the middle of doing a AFB double pumper. I await warmer weather to finish. From there, it's on to finish the Edelbrock 600 into a 3bbl. I have yet to combine the two works into one 3bbl. DP carb. I don't think it will be to hard to do myself. I just need time to tinker on it.
