Cotton Perry's H/MP #2352 Chevy II(s)
 

Am I reading correctly that the Headrick engine used THREE four-barrel Holley #4210 carburetors?

Where did you read that?

I saw under the hood of the pocket rocket at the 1976 race at Miami Hollywood Speedway Park.

There was three two barrels, possibly three webbers or three Holleys
cut in half.

I don't know what they were but there were 3 four barrel carburetors at one time.

Looks like an old article from PHR magazine:

I saw it once with what appeared to be three Weber 55 WDCOE carburetors, and once with what appeared to be three 500 cfm Holley two barrel carburetors. I never saw it with Holley 4 barrel carburetors, but that does not mean they did not try it.

There were at least three Perry-Headrick #2352 H/MP Chevy II cars- the red '62-'65 car, the white '66-'67 car, and then the red '67 car that everybody remembers.

And they were constantly trying new stuff, so there were probably countless variations of those three cars.

Near as I can tell, the #4210 was a 585cfm 4150 originally used as the OEM carbs on the cross-ram intake for the Chevrolet 302 V8.

I think some of the stuff they did was to try to collect more contingency money- I don't think Weber was paying contingency money in Modified Eliminator in the '70s, so if they could figure out how to make it run the numbers with Holley carbs, they could make more money.

They had the same issue with intake manifolds, and if memory serves, they used to run completely hand-fabricated custom intake manifolds, with Edelbrock logos attached to them, in order to get paid.

I worked tech in Div. ll 1970-75 and don't remember 3x4 carbs on the car or any MP car. Rules were 2x4 or 3x2 in modified. Did notice something I didn't remember in the 1976 rulebook. It stated that on 1/1/77 modified production classes will be consolidated with the gas classes but In don't think that ever happened.

Re: Cotton Perry's H/MP #2352 Chevy II(s)
 

My memory is not that great, but I thought MP and Gas were in the same eliminator?1?.
or were they in Comp... CRS..lol

Modified Production, Gas, Street Roadster, Modified Compact, Super Modified were the classes in Modified Eliminator.

The Vette on the magazine cover was likely a gasser. No front bumper and bumpers were required in modified. Also there was no carb limit on a gasser.

Re: Cotton Perry's H/MP #2352 Chevy II(s)
 

The Corvette does have the factory bumpers for a 1956-57.

Re: Cotton Perry's H/MP #2352 Chevy II(s)
 

You are correct. I didn't even see them at first. Still think the car was in gas and not MP though.

Re: Cotton Perry's H/MP #2352 Chevy II(s)
 

My brother ran H/MP and he was running three weber side drafts on his 292 in a chevy ll body. We took it to Indy one year but couldn't get by Cotton. I don't remember what year it was but there must have been 12 or 14 H cars there.

Re: Cotton Perry's H/MP #2352 Chevy II(s)
 

The Vette was a L/Gas car, I was showing the 3-4barrels on it..

Did your brothers car have a name on it?.

I have always had love and interest in inline drag engines. Most were before my time, but I did see Ann Peto make many passes and win the IHRA Modified championship with a 300 ford in a roadster,, meanwhile back to the post. I read anything I could find on Cotton's 292c.i. Chevy deuce, he had tried 2bbls., webbers, and 4bbls. I can't remember 3x4bbls. I'm not a induction expert but I don't think a sub 300 inch engine could even use 3 390cfm Nascar 4bbls. and I don't think they were available back then. Don Jackson
