In one ofthe late McLarens, Mk8s, the intake runners were of different
lengths, in an attempt to broaden the power range.  I recall that these
also had expotential bell mouths, the general effect, visually, was of some
strange aluminum-colored growth sprouting from the engine compartment.
Think it was Kinsler constant flow injection.  In any case it was a
privateer entry, Hulme and Donahue whipped it regularly, in spite of how
pretty it was.  I saw that car a few year ago on the concours circuit,
still can't remember the driver.  Motzenbacher, perhaps.
