    Semi-old news - been discussed here on at least two other threads.

    I think it's a brave step for BG.

    A compromise for some of the retro-tech type of higher end builds, IMO.

    I'd run 'em if I could afford them...

    Oh ok... I did a search here but just found threads on the 6 shooter setup. These look a little cooler, but I agree that they are a little modern looking.

    I heard yesterday that that don't have any.
    Haven;t started production yet.
    Won't be able to ship any for months.

    New Strombergs have been out for a couple years now - made in England.

    I really want to give them props for trying and I really want to like them...

    But those are just stupid...
    They make ZERO sense...

    If you wanted to run modern carbs you could get a different intake?

    Even a single 4bbl would look better and make more sense than that.

    I willprobably buy them when they come out. Better reliability and cheaper in the long run than buying 10-15 Strombergs to get 3 good carbs......go ahead and flame me, I'm ready.
