would 3 dueces be too much on a 230 with raised compression? (Flat top pistons from a 283 or is it 307?)
In a different lifetime (well, much younger anyway), everyone's favorite Uncle endowed me with a year's expense paid visit to Asia. While there, I owned a car which came from the factory with 4 1-barrel carburetors. The engine was 37 CID.
The amount of carburetion which may be supported by an engine is dependent on the air flow requirements which are dependent on the displacement, cam, headwork, and maximum RPM.
The key to (3) 2-barrels on a 230 would be in picking the 2-barrels.
Three 1-barrels would be easier to set-up, but 3 2-barrels is a possibility, assuming you can find (or fabricate) a 3 2-barrel manifold.
