Thanks, Mike....now I understand. I really think that there might well be a small Holley double pumper with center-mounted floats in the future for this engine, so your point is well taken.
If the motor-mount suggestions don't work, I may be getting in touch with you. I have a good deal of $$ invested in the current 9" K&N (this one:
http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=66-3150 ), so I'd like to use that, but a 14" drop base with a K&N filter and one of their 14" X-Stream filter-tops might well do the trick
http://www.knfilters.com/universal/X-stream.htm . I've been using the current 9" b/c it fits between the sides of the hood scoop, allowing it to sit up in the hood scoop. I was hoping to take advantage of the more vertical airflow allowed by the X-Stream filter-top. A new filter will certainly be cheaper than taking the Cobra to a shop and turning them loose with cutting torches and welders!
Thanks. You may well be hearing back from me, yet!
Cheers from Dugly
