Must have been an engine like this one, LOFR:

I wasn't even aware that Buick ever made a dual-quad engine. What could be cooler, as a kid, to have your parents buy a car like that? Wow! :)

   I remember the day when I was a kid , 10 years old,  when my folks went and got a new car, it was a 1964 Buick 4 door Super Wildcat, what made it super was that it had the biggest engine Buick put in a car, it even had 2  4 barrel cariborators on it and it produced 325 hp  and 425 lbs. of torq,  It would pass anything on the road but a gas station, and in those days if you filled up with Esso they gave you a little tiger tail they put on your gas cap, that let everyone know that you had a Tiger in your tank, It was a good looking car with a metal dash and no seat belts and it could fly down the road, today we would call it a dinosaurs , and if it was it was a T- Rex.  LOFR

But I ain't telling how.
