How about a 2X4 intake with two barrel carbs.  Carbs could be Holley or Ford/Autolite.  Plenty of room for 2V carbs and would expect it to be very drivable.

What a great idea.  I'll bet it would run good too.  Fabricate some linkage from an FE motor and you are good to go.  I suppose you would be running on both carbs all the time?  1950s Cobra style?

What would the benefit be? If going that route, you may as well mount a MUMMERT/BLUE THUNDER intake with a suitable HOLLEY and go for performance shouldn't you?

Probably difficult to fit under the hood of a T-Bird  since adapters, which probably are not already made, are required.  Plus a custom air cleaner would have to be made.  Expensive project.  It would look neat but I agree, at that point, single 4 is the way to go.

Here’s a link to famdoc3’s post about dual 2 barrel injection units on a 2x4 manifold.  About half way down.

Lots of options will work if you can get the hood to close.  I see a lot of those marine intake systems on EBay. That would fit under a TBird hood with ease. I think they look ugly, especially with the two radiator intake hoses required. 

Phil, since your goal seems to be "eye candy" above all else. Go full tilt, add a 4-71 and CUT A BIG HOLE IN YOUR HOOD and be done with it. Pete

he wow factor, just like 2 4's or 3 2's.
