...I believe it would clear the deck lid, using the (F1? FI) Throttle Bodies. Shorter rear End. When I ran Dual Holleys IN-LINE, I had to cut the Deck Lid 2 Inches into it, to clear the rear-most Float Bowl. With holleys (Longer than T. Bodies) Mounted SIDE-WAYS, I think they would clear. I would take the T. Bodies Over the Holleys, (or other carbs) to be more Updated, and produce More Horsepower, but I believe the Carbs will bring you more Torque. No system here will Clear any Engine COVER.
The Experiment, Plate Port Modification here, is My Design, described as 'Individual Runners'-In Pairs with Their Own (Mini) Planum, They each share One Primary and One Secondary, UN-shared with any of the Other Three Pairs of Runners. The Theory is: The Impulses of Each Runner are Shared with Each Other, with-in that Pair, But Never Influenced by any of the other 3 Pairs of I.R.'s. No 'Adding to Flow, No Sacrificing a Flow', other than with-in the Pair. You can see in the Photos, the Pairs are in Quarters, Left and Right. I still have to Finish Opening-Up the Ports, just a Little, And Polishing.
Thanks for Inquiring.
