2. Not really. You need to put a couple  of aircraft carbs on there
capable of being leaned and handling about 130 HP each.
A pair of Ellison Throttle Bodies would probably work.

Two EFS-3A's might work.



Why Two??? why not just one? the throttle body handles four cylinders
just fine why can't it handle 4 ports?

Well if you want the maximum airflow to get into the engine you will
need two throats. One for each p-port runner.

A half a carb would work if you don't care about the power :)

BTW carbs like a lot of air velocity in a small throat as they use
the venturi as a sensor to know how much fuel the engine needs.
The  venturi likes a lot of air velocity to work well.

Four small ones work better than one big one as four small ones
tailor the fuel to each runner's airflow. There is one throat
in the carb on my Cont. O-470. The EGTS and the CHTS are all over
the block as God only knows what mixture each of the six cylinders
is getting at any given  power level or RPM.
