Default 454 Dual Quads?

Recently had a conversation with a gentleman, that said he once owned a 1972 Vette, 454, with dual 4 barrels. Did Chevrolet build a beast with that setup? PS a 4 speed car, with AC. Thanks.

Not from the factory. He may have had it...but it was added after the factory.

Recently I seen a pic of someone’s vette with a edelbrock cross ram intake, probably next to impossible to buy one.

Those cross rammed intakes made back in that era were not very well designed. But they were above things like my factory dual 4 barrel
