The carburetor float levels have been adjusted to compansate for the incline, it runs just fine. The problem is the angle of the carbs, and so the aircleaners, are counter to the hood and scoop. Sofar any improvment would require more filter heigth. So now you start talking about hoodscoops that are as high in the rear as as the front or higher. I do not want a great big unsightly lump on my hood. Dual fours are an old school solution . They have since made large single four barrel carbs that will handle the needs of a large engine. Having thought about different solutions , I'm now asking if there is a production cast alluminum manifold , single or dual four, that has the carb flange(s) at or near the same angle as the valvecover? I keep refering to the valvecover but the basic attitude of the engine is what I'm talking about. It doesn't need to be an NOS piece that has not seen daylight in decades. I'm looking at Eldelbrock Victors, Doves, etc. I like the airgap style. It's the angle thing. Webers are flat but another big leep.
Would I have to have a custom built manifold?
