What is this a picture of?

I was looking through emails this morning and
Advanced auto had one that read Want More Horsepower.
I clicked it and went to the page and it spoke of Supercharger and cold air intake.
Yea normal things and I scrolled and seen this picture and thought I know what that is.

In fact I removed those carbs and made an intake to mount a Carter AFB in place of them from some scrap steel I had in the back yard.
It worked better and got more MPG.

Stromburgs? Maybe on a Jag?

Looks like some kind of old dual carb straight engine kind of setup like an old Datsun 240z had.

Early 50's Corvette I-6 Maybe?

Yes sir with the dual SU carbs.
I still (or my son) have that steel intake I made that bolted on where you unbolted the SU carbs.

I even welded up ribs in the bottom of the plenum to keep fuel from puddling in the floor of the plenum.

IIRC on the opposite side also. I was thinking that was the right side. The land of the rising sun was pretty good at copying but not quite exact, the old land cruiser engines were a pretty good copy of a chevy straight 6.
