The velocity stacks for a Cobra FE motor are tilted 10 degrees inward to clear the hood scoop opening and at that the two front ones on the right hand side clear the hood opening by less than an 1/8th of an inch. The front stack sticks about a half inch through the hood opening. You could remove the stacks completely and cob something together but that would be ugly and would defeat the whole purpose of Webers (they look *****en', check out the photo). I have time and money to throw at this which is why I kept the Webers. BUT, I don't want to butcher the hood of my Kirkham and driving around sucking dirt and sand into my $25,000.00 FE is no fun. And I love to drive this car!! I even tried larger (wider) aluminum stacks with a nylon screen over the top and they didn't clear the hood opening and the car ran rich. So the Holly it is for now at least. I could get the hell out of Arizona and move to Seattle where there is no dust. Any other ideas?
