Help with carb adapter?

There doesn't seem to be any adapter available to fit a Holley 1685 to a Q-Jet type Edelbrock intake. Anyone ever find one of these?

I need to get this thing bolted together so I can finish the triple turbo installation:

Isn't that an aircraft carb?

Oh, you've seen one of those, too? The last one of those I saw was bolted to the underside of a Wright R2600 on a B-25. It seemed to support the 1,900 HP with no problem, even upside down. Maybe the last good carburetor Holley built.

if you're real careful you ought to be able to make an adapter out of a piece of 3/4" plywood

Would think if the imagination and skills are there for a triple turbo install, the creativity for a fabricated spacer shouold be the easiest part of the entire build.

I'm constantly nosed in the auto after market books looking for the next edge over the competition, and I aint never seen/heard of anything like that is auto parts mags....totally "uncommon" if ya get what I'm saying.

are they going to be sequential turbos? or all one size so it boosts all at once?
