Cool install.
Many years ago, I tried a similar set up. I had a 2Bbl Holley/Weber off a Vega and modified a 2-into-1 carb adapter like yours, to use on my '68 292 L6.
There were tech problems, however, and I got talked into a 4Bbl Holley 8007 390 CFM on an Offy intake and Clifford headers. I was told the Vega carb was too small for a .030-over 292 [=296 CI].
I don't regret the power upgrade, but I always wondered if the Vega carb would've worked.
What headers are those?
