The Meteor came out pretty good. That wasn't the easiest place lighting-wise to take a picture.

So one SSJ, the Mormon Meteor, and the spare Meteor engine, now probably J-292, definitely had them when new. I believe J-572 had them from new, or at least from its early days, as well. Randy would be able to give you a more definite answer on this than I.

Engine J-572 had dual carbs installed in the 1960s, which would have been before Leo's project as well. That engine came out of the Bohman & Schwartz Convertible Coupe built in 1935 for Serge Mdivani, now owned by Sam & Emily Mann.
Were there two spare engines for the Mormon Meteor?
I've heard it had one, which was probably put into J-292, as A.J. said. There is another, so-called "spare engine" in the ACD Museum. It is very probably not.

Nice new toy, West. A substitute for the blue Packard that didn't arrive on Christmas morning?

I think the dual carb cars were rare, but like the blowers, a few more exist now than left the factory that way. Hopefully someone will weigh in and enlighten us.

I understand that the Mormon Meteor's carburetors are different than the others.
