... Carb-o-holic!

I tried, I really tried, to sell my QFT/Proform 1.45" "950" aluminum main body and a set of QFT/Proform 4-emulsion billet metering blocks. But even after I lowered the price again, I still got no interest in the parts advertised on three different gearhead web sites.

So, I did what any Carb-o-holic would: buy more parts to build a complete carb from those parts which I'd purchased originally simply to try out on another carb.

As a result, it looks like I'm building the "missing link" for Holley Ultra HP-type carbs, since Holley offers only 1.375" v x 1.675", 1.562" v x 1.75" and 1.600" v x 1.75" venturi x throttle bore sizes:
- QFT/Proform 1.45" x 1.75" aluminum main body
- Holley/BLP 1.75" billet base plate w/ slabbed throttle shafts
- BLP 2-circuit x 5-emulsion billet metering blocks
- Holley aluminum Ultra HP baffled fuel bowl assemblies w/ .120" N&S seats

I've dubbed it the first of my "Mongrel Racing" carb series. If I build another bigger version w/ either a 1.500" or 1.560" main body, I'll call them the "Bad Dawg" and "Mad Dawg" versions, respectively.

I can put the new carb up on the parts shelf right next to my:
--> Holley original-style "950" 1.375" v x 1.75 w/ Holley/BLP 5-emulsion billet metering blocks, blueprinted base plate w/ profiled throttle shafts... and I expect I'll end up blending & polishing venturi, too
--> "Blueprinted / Baseline" Race Demon RS 1.425" venturi sleeves
--> "Test Mule" Gold Claw w/ 1.425" / 1.500" / 1.562" venturi sleeve options

After all, a man with one car really needs to have a choice of carbs from which to choose.
