My dad had an old 50 Cockshutt they did that with back in the late 60s. I think it run good but not sure it would be the way to go today in that LLSS class. Those tractors run pretty good.............

messed around with this about 30 years ago.it will work but not the way to go today.couple of problems were the whole carb gets hot and you have to run a solid float.a hollow brass float will collapse.throttle shaft has to be sealed tight or you loose a little boost.also getting the mixture right is a nightmare.

It's old technology that we ran back in the early 70's. You will have a difficult time competing with any other LLSS club with that set up.

We ran a draw through carb set up with a local association about 7 years ago. It worked but can be hard on pistons if the air fuel ratio isnt where it should be. Gas just burns hotter and is less forgiving in some ways than alcohol.

blow through carbs have come A long way in the past few years.I know of two v8 sbc making 1600 & 1800 rwhp with twin chargers i would think 400 ci 6 cyl on gas could be capable of half or A little better with some good parts.
