Lawnmower Carb on V8

I didn't see anyone discussing this here yet, so I thought I'd post a thread to get it going. This guy just as an April Fool's joke designed a plenum to put this little lawnmower carb on his 302 V8. Because of all the attention it got, he decided to actually build it out and run it with spectacular MPG results. He added a custom IAC valve hack to the system to modulate AFR, which I'm assuming has a lot to do with how efficient it ended up being. I'm interested to see more extensive testing of this but so far this seems like a very promising design. Thoughts?
