I have a 1967 4/4 with the Ford 1600 cross flow engine. This engine has a long racing history, so when I decided to rebuild the engine this winter, I added a few performance enhancements. I have the engine (and a new 5-speed transmission) back in the car. When I bolted the new Weber 40 DCOE side draft carbs onto the manifold, the front carburetor velocity stack was resting right on the front fender. This won't work. Obviously, I need to raise the engine about 1/2", or find a shorter manifold.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">If anyone has any experience with side draft Webers in a Morgan with the 1600 engine, I would be interested in any suggestions you have for this problem. I know there are a lot of people racing Morgans with this engine/carburetor combination (Jack Poteet for one). If you know of anyone not on the list, who may be able to help me, I would appreciate any contact info you may be able to give me.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">As always, thanks for your help.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Jack<br></div></div></body></html>
