I'd like to switch to a Super Victor but like you am space limited for that height. What's your max clearance measurements, manifold base to carb pad height (front and rear) Blue Thunder does make a medium riser dual quad set up, not knowing if it'll meet your clearance requirements. I like the Blue Thunder manifolds as the are fairly accurate clones of the OEM stuff, with flow enhancements too.
Depending on your setup, probably +/- 20 hp drop... maybe more, on running a low riser.

I will go to my garage this evening (it is a few miles from my home) and I will make the measurements. I never looked at Blue Thunder until now but I am interested by your set up which seems excellent. A Blue Thunder dual quad could be the solution.
Thanks again!!!!.
