Your about 200 cu.in. small for that much carburation !!!! Being an x drag racer I have to ask why gas ? Alcohol is so much cheaper and much more tuneable . just saying

Im stubborn and have everythin to run on gas 118 fuel is 8 bucks a gallon so cost not much diff how bout using center carb for just air? the way i looked at it if i had two 1050s on a 14 71 that be better?

I have never seen any boat engine run 3 carbs and that includes 600ci + stuff. Like was said, you have way too much carb, especially for a 427.

you need to go to 2 carbs,and bump the timing up to 34 deg.with the right tune up,you can make good power with race gas.

Just takin fuel away from one out of question? Spent alot of time making that stupid adapter hate to see it scraped just askin tho dunno if adapter can be bought for large openin and really dont have the time to make another

I saw a boat in Key West in 1995 with 3 dominators with huge Wipples, 46' Skater with Arnesons, prolly had some huge cubic inch motors, so it has been done. 427 cubic inches you might try triple 600 cfm carbs.

Thanks for reply i was just thinkin an injector hat has more cfm than im using and in theory it would work fine gotta get it figured out sooner or later

Take 1 carb of and cover the hole with a plate . As for injector hat's they come in all different sizes as well . How much boost are you running with the 14-71 ? Just seem's way over kill for a 427 cu. in. Good luck
