Get one for the dual quad "WOW" factor but at the expense of quite a few ponies.

Thanks for the remarks.
The height between the bottom of the manifold and its maximum height is very critical, I think I have about 1/4 inch clearance available!!!
My actual (porous C3EA 9425) had been carefully re-worked three years ago to match the Edelbrock performer cyl. heads.
What would you see to save the "ponies" ? Switch to a big single quad carb???
