You are welcome. I have seen quite a few custom Ford 260/289/non-Boss 302 engine "Weber" intakes side draft and down draft over the years. There are some really strange ones out there. How about 48 mm size carburetors down the middle in a line like an Italian car for Ford 260 engines. (Ford's 255 INDY engine used four 58 DSF models down the middle...got that 4 each 58 mm carburetors on a 255 c.i.d. engine.) BUT not as strange as some of the Moon-McKay "Weber" intakes for SBC engines! I am told that the Winters company (think Chevy aluminum intakes) made the 4-2V intakes for the 45 IDM carburetors for the Chevy powered Maserati racers in the 1950s. I have no idea if that is true. The family that owned one of the Maserati racers Mr. Shelby drove tried to sell me the complete 45 IDM carburetor based induction system from the car.
