NVZEE Posted September 5, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 5, 2018 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVZEE Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted September 5, 2018 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!

Diseazd Posted September 6, 2018 Share #4 Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) 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! Edited September 6, 2018 by Diseazd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you're the guy who has to tune them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
