That was my intent, to reduce the heat transfered into the bowls making the duel denser,etc. But some modern thoughts about vaporization/atomization make the cold intake/hot bowl idea something to ponder. That would be easier to fab up initially than a turkey pan and might reap better benefits...at least I can compare the 2. Nice set up, by the way.
I didn't realize you were using the Carter style carbs either, you MAY be able to fit them in a pan. I'd have someone with a turkey pan measure the opening length and then measure your carbs. Because they lack the bowl length one both ends as well as the middle, it may work. I remember that 2-4 Cobra intake I used to run on a '65 fastback was for the Carters and the mount pads were placed too close for Holleys unless they were sideways.
