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

I'm not sure about the method of mounting the carbs. The only proble I can see with it is that upon initial acceleration, you would be opening up both sets of primarys. unless the engine was asperated just right I would think that you would have a bad lul, from too much initial fuel. Again that is just my 5 min reasoning...so take it with a grain of salt. I'm sure the other guys on the board can give better info on it.
As far as adding an open spacer, or cutting the plenum.....that is a very worth-while mod. Offenhauser did this on their duel plenum intakes. it is a small cutout about one inch wide and about 3/4 of an inch deep. ( if you are really interested I can give you the exact specs) The cut was made at the rear of the plenum. It works so well that I took an edlebrock intake and made the same cut in it's plenum, and was able to notice the difference. The car ran alot smoother and was a little faster to respond to acceleration. It is a very good idea. I don't know about the open space though. it would seem that you would acomplish teh same thing with it tough, unless there is somethign that I don't quite understand. |
