youd need a couple of twin choke units (~?600) and a custom manifold (???).  then a lot of tuning.

Chip and exhaust would seem better plan

Carbs are wonderful.  With my ol' golf driver I spent no end of time admiring the foliage on the hard shoulder while I waited for the ice on the front of my carb to defrost so that I could continue my journey!

Twin carbs are great as long as they are synchronised - either way they guzzle fuel!
