Multiple Carb Question

[Michael C Henry]

Did Elderbrock start making tunnelport heads.The way I understood it tunnelport heads(round intake ports) go with a tunnelport intake manifolds.The Elderbrock heads are a version of the lowriser or Cobrajet.Maybe he is talking about a tunnel wedge intake w/ rectanglular intake ports.From my veiw a single four and a large air cleaner is the way to go.After the tunnel wedge intake height and the closenes of the dual carbs there isn't much of a place for an aircleaner under the hood of a Cobra replica.I have the twin 8 1/2" Stelling and Helling. they are altered w/the foam elements. I have the K&N elements in hand but alterations like milling carb flanges may make it possible to fit.Otherwise the hood will not close.The new carbs these days go beyond dual fours fuel control and adjustability. Then you have the secondaries to consider .Vacum secondaries will hardly open w/2 600cfm's.I ve already got them. If I had it to do over I'd go with a larger single four like a BG or an EFI setup and a large air cleaner up in the larger than traditional hood scoop to catch the cool air.
