Jim, This is late, but I bought a  Offy 2x2 many years ago.  my idea was to use up some of my SU carbs by mounting four, utilizing  two home made "Y" adapters.  Would look kinda cool, but would it work?  Steve

Is smarter. Re-flashed/upgraded,GM # 227747 ecm., cost $430 from "bobr@dynamicefi". Add $75 to drive (4) injectors. NO AFFILIATION. roverman.

Art, FAST EZ EFI. Looks like a Holley 4 barrel. Not cheap though.
Steve, I don't know if you meant Jim B. or me,but  the "BOXER" manifold with 4 SU's looks just like you describe. Or maybe you can adapt the SU's to the  Weber 2 barrels to 4 barrel adapter to a dual quad manifold.

Jim N,  That Boxer manifold looks tough.  Is it  some ones  home made special?  Hard to tell if it's cast of welded up.  My idea would place the four carbs  in aprox same place using the offy 2x2 with adaps.  Somtimes I think I think too much about this stuff.  Nah.

Steve, I believe it's a British Rover racing manifold. I just thought you would like to see how the runners are spaced. Your idea would work fine.
