    And the feedback likely wouldn't be 'positive'!

    I'm not a physicist, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work unless the engine was mounted 90 degrees from how it would be in a car.  Definitely need a dry sump to make that work (kind of looks like that may be the case).

    So that is the legendary Pro form 4 barrel side draft knock off!

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Bet a plumber had something to do with the design. That looks like something that should be off of a plumbers truck.

    I think the carb needs to go 90 degrees to work

    Notice the elbow is not bolted to the intake. But, what if he went EFI and just used the carb as a throttle body?  No fuel in the bowls…

    Nice way to plumb up a MPFI boosted application with a 90 mm air valve when you have a 4150 square bore intake.  It would probably work better on a slightly shorter intake and if that intake was on a small block Ford.  Here is the Edelbrock version  https://www.edelbrock.com/ultra-low-profile-universal-intake-elbow-90mm-t-b-to-4150-flange-3848.html  Wilson apparently has some good flowing versions of intake and 90 that has much better hood clearance.

    I'm sure if someone really wanted to they could make that work, but I foresee a couple issues.  First you'd have to eliminate any kind of progressive linkage for the secondaries.  In order to make a TPS work on it you need everything to open at once with throttle input.  Second, while it may look interesting a 1050 Dominator flows 100cfm less air than a stock 90mm throttle body off a bunch of stock vehicles.
