Blue Thunder Dual Quad Manifold
I am preparing a dual quad setup for my Cobra and wondered if anyone has used the Blue Thunder Dual Quad manifold with Holley carbs in their Cobra. From the factory, the height of the rear of the manifold measured from the end rail mating surface to the top of the Stelling & Hellings air cleaner is 11 1/4", dangerously close to contacting the underside of my hood. Since the "slope" of the carb mount bosses on the manifold do not match the slope of the motor I was thinking about having some milling work done to the carb mounts to level the Holleys as well as lower the carbs a bit. The manifold looks like it has plenty of meat in the carb mount bosses to allow at least 1/2" to be milled off the rear of the rear carb. I figure to temporarily install the manifold on the motor and then use a level and T square to calculate the amount of material to remove to end up with level carbs. I would like to hear from anyone who has had any experience with what I am talking about. Happy Holidays to all and lots of Cobra parts under your Christmas Trees.
