has anyone out there run two barrels on a 45 inch omc twin. I have a set of 1-1/16" bore carbs setting on the bench. A two piece manifold doesnt look that hard to build!! Or is it too much?

Yup, been done. One of the guys is a member here on BRF.
the big question -does it work?
a guy in georgia is running the 1 inch ones on a hydro. seems to work good
You definitely want the 1" bores, waisting your time with the others.
I saw another set today. I do not know if they do much without other mods.
FEH/850/SEH on the 45, 2 bbls helped out with acceleration, once up and running.......
The 1" venturi 2bbls will light up a stock 45 for acceleration.
The intake plate isnt difficult to make if you can transfer holes from an intake gasket and 2 bbl gaskets. no mater how crude it will wake up a 45ss.
Geometry gets complicated when making improvements with transition into the front. Since I am not a tool and die maker I had to measure a 45 front half on CNC Bridgeport w/digital readout and probe tip, then took coordinates over to Auto Cad and made a dwg to machine with tapered and radiused end mills to smooth out transition effective areas.
Am in the process of making some intakes and air horns if interested
let me know

Sonny's new motor looks cool
Roanoke Rapids is not that far from you
Pretty sure that is at Camden NC. Like I said, lots of other mods.
