well thats not really considered 6 throttle bodies,reason is they are being fed off a single float bowl and joined jet setup per carburetor. Technically thats triple 2 barrel sidedraft carburetors i.e. Webers!!
Italian Carburetors, those and Mikuni Solex's used to the rage on 2000 roadsters, 510's/610's/710's and 240/260/280z's back in early 70's through mid 80's . Classic L series engine setup.

Love the webbers!!! I owned a '68 510 with a built L16 with headwork and cams. It had dual webber 40's it was a blast to drive. Its the same reason I havnt gone ka-t sure I could get an extra 100whp for $1200-1300 which is great but I can keep it nearly stock and beat on it harder and enjoy it more. I use it to drift and I keep up with all the sr guys just fine and in the mountains I am just as fast as higher horsepower cars plus I have a lot more fun because I can be in the gas more and I have a lot more low end. It makes the car more enjoyable and if it wasnt so expensive I would build a high compression ka and rock that for a while even 180whp would be great I have about 130 now. Its all preference, and dont get me wrong I love turbo motors I owned a full built 3/s that made well over 500hp with minimal lag and it was fun too but I never drove it that hard because it was way to fast for the street without some serious penaltys I could go either way and will prob. swap for an sr in the future but I love my n/a ka for now.
