Tim.......
These are several Images showing a CSX Car with the Dove 1X4 T/W and the a Midstates (much like an ERA or SV) with the Dove 2X4 T/W.
The SV, Midstates and ERA all built for about a 3 degree rear down tilt of the motor while the CSX isn't.....you can make some allowance on the mounts and even the Carb bases, the scoop may still need to be modified in the end. I have to assume the new CSX Series you've bought is going to have the exact design and geometry as the prior cars they've built. Remember the 1x4 manifold is a 0 base degree manifold for the Carb base and is located 7.25" up front and back while the 2x4 manifold is 5" in the front and 6.75" in the back and is about a 5 degree front base degree manifold and needs to be installed in a car with the 3 degree down tilt so the Carbs are close to level. If you're game for trying I'd sure like to see you do the combination as it works great and fits well under the Midstates I have and it would be great to document your installation and the modifications required if any......
George
