If you were to use downdrafts the IDF's might be a better option for the sweet.

A Holley would work just as well too. What ever route you go will be the right one for you. Unless it is parked with the bonnet up, nobody knows what's underneath the bonnet anyways.

Good luck.

Cheers,

Jim, agreed ....Webers do add the WOW factor. If that does eventuate one day in the future, I agree - the IDFs would be more suitable. My high diff. ratio results in my gearing setup equating to a five speed gearbox with no first gear (2.92 diff and w/r Toploader)

Cheers!
Glen
