Now either you have a 4gas and crytpton machine or a good ear cos that
sounds just set up nice!

Only thing- shame about the roasting hot air feed- thats gotta cost you 20hp
or more on a slow moving run.

I haven't touched the carbs at all, just bolted them on to the car. I
bought them off a friend who had them on a standard 3.5 V8 and I knew they
run spot on, which is one of the reasons I got them. But it's MoT time in a
few weeks, so we'll see if they're set up well enough to get through that!!

I'll be doing something about that once the MoT is sorted. I'm considering
using the old air filter elbows to mount the K&Ns over the 'V' rather than
over the exhausts, and/or possibly wrapping the manifolds. But for the time
being I don't intend on moving slowly

I've got this vision of these carbs bolted onto the bootlid as some sort of
surreal post-modern spoiler.

What about just making an intake tube system bolted to the carbs and one
mahoosive filter out front in the cold (or twin not quite so mahoosive)?

Yeah that may be doable. Good thinking Batman!

TBH I could just put the old air box on there with it's high flow air
filters. I think I'll be doing some expeirmenting over the summer.

Turbo *and* injection then.

4 barrels are ok, but don't work too well in long corners...
