That set-up was immortalized by Monogram when it made their 1/8 scale '32 Fords in the late 50s and early 60s.
I don't think they ever said what displacement the engine was, but the 6 deuces was considered the hottest thing goin' without being blown. I think the even crammed 4 or 6 of those carbs on top of a blower. They always looked like Strombergs to me.
Of course, boltin' 'em down is the easy part. Hookin' 'em up and makin' 'em run is a different matter.
On the other hand, nothing looks cooler than a chromed 6 deuce set-up in show form.
