Don't do it. Ford has an old 4cyl turbo stang w/ carbs that had some problems- its unreliable if you ask me- Of course, for motorcycles- they do it- and i dont know how...its genius- the 82 Yamaha XJ650LJ Seca Turbo, and Honda has a 500cc turbo'd- both carbs, both turbo'd..and sick fast

This is my carbed Honda with turbo.
No numbers on it yet. Didn't have the time to finish it

However yours is with sidedraft carbs instead of my downdraft carb.
Or make a custom manifold so you can fit a downdraft.
