Sideways mounted Holleys on a 2 x 4v Intake. . ?

Hello All,

I have seen a few 2 x 4V intakes set up with the carbs sideways, and many tunnel rams set up that way as well. What is the advantage of this?

Also, more importantly, I would like some responses to this: Say I take my split plenum single plane 2 x 4V intake and mount my Holleys side ways with the linkage of each carb facing each other. I will be running these carbs in sync with NON-PROGRESSIVE linkage so I would have a primary curcuit for each bank. Will this run okay, or am I just setting myself up to make cylinders 1, 2, 7, & 8 run lean while leaving cylinders 3, 4, 5, & 6 to run rich?

I would like to do this for many reasons, but don't want to do so at the expense of a fuel distribution problem. Would adding a 1" open spacer, or possibly cutting away part of the plenum divider help this situation any? Any and all comments are welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks,
Nathan
