Ever see a 289 Cobra Weber setup, Don? :devilgrin:
 
always drooled on the Formula A's quad twin downdraft set ups

We went to a T-J injection system on the A-car (a Christmas gift from the owner's wife!).

Ya could always consider a retro-fit look with an old Lucas "guillotine" setup. :wink:

That is real engine porn, if there ever was any. I wouldn't want to tune them, but I've ridden in a Mustang with that setup and it's as close as sounding like a Ferrari that an American V8 will ever get.

Izzat the one where the manifold tubes hang out over the rocker covers?
 
I'll see if I can find th' pix of one we did. Oddly, idle screws kept backin' out on their own... a word in yer ear: Do NOT use 'green' LockTite on idle screws.

:whistle: :sick:
 
Ok, thanks Don. The one I was thinking of was more like:

Dcoe's , naw I like the IDE (I think that is what they are) better

...and Don, the 48 ID<span style="font-weight: bold">A </span>was the downdraught of choice "back-when".
 
That's it

New you or someone would straighten me out.
Do you think that would fit on Tom's new Alfa

Fit might be a challenge, but they would never be able to feed enough fuel....
 
I think he could do it, I don't think the feeding is the problem you can always get a big enough pump. It's the other end where it would get dicey. :devilgrin:
 
Tom's Berlina can be easily fitted with a set of 40 DCOE's.

I have a set right here, along with manifold and rubber mounts. :devilgrin: :jester:
 
Sets not enough Doc, A twin for each cylinder
