SU's from Hell?

Featured Replies

Here's an image to wake you screaming in the night -- a pair of 2-barrel SU carbs! These are the DU6 as used on the Climax engine of a 1957 Cooper T43. If that ain't enough to make you sweat, there was also a triple configuration ?

The image is a screen capture from Motor Trend's coverage of the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion.

Rare critters for sure, with some kind of internal float design. It looks like there may have been a fresh batch made not that long ago.

Here's additional info from https://sucarb.co.uk/technical-su-carburetters

They're kinda sexy -- in their own unique way!

They’re not kinda, they’re really sexy. Can you imagine 6 SU’s on a 240Z? Wow, I wonder if that has ever happened? Bet it would be a blast!

Six SUs on a 240Z?

 Sure.  As long as you're the guy who has to tune them.

They clearly belong in the thread about breasts!
