Want to run side draft carbs, will they fit?

[Fendego]

I'm going to carb my m20, I've found these manifolds http://www.extrudabody.biz/servlet/t...-Triple/Detail
they look decent but I don't know if side drafts will fit in the engine bay. Has anyone run side drafts and/or can they tell me if they fit? Thanks

Looks like it should, you just looking at DCOE 45s/Mikunis or so? Dbilas sells a pretty large ITB kit that fits with no real mods. The only thing I could see that would pose a real clearance issue would be the booster, and an E21 or IX unit would probably help that.

LHD car I presume?

What's the dimensions on those manifolds?

Yes it's lhd. I'm not sure of the dimensions, I cant find it on the website. I'm gonna shoot them an email and find out. And yup I'm looking at 45s! I still don't know what I'm going to do about my spark timing though

this sounds interesting

^ is that an e21? nice

PO: I would imagine you could still run Motronic for spark, yes? Just cut out the injector harness, maybe it will need resistors to keep the DME happy?

[racingsnake]

yes that is an e21,,,, looked good so posted it :D
