It's a great game to play, honest!
I'm trying to figure out if my carb'd LS will fit in there, or if I have to surrender to EFI.
Here's the basic stats.
RHS block - same dimensions as LS, except + 3/4''
Super victor intake - distance from valley cover to carb pad is 6.07''
quickfuel carb - distance from carb pad to flange around bowl is 3.5''
then I would run a low profile air intake plenum so I don't have to surrender to a drop dish and/or be unable to fit a large air cleaner on (e.g., 14x3 k&n with extreme top).
Distance from bottom of it (i.e., flange around carb) to the top is roughly 4''.
Like this
So basically I'm looking at (from the valley cover to the top of the intake on the carb) 14.5''.
I'm looking at this image
And I think it should fit. Even though the height is 14.5'', the important height is 10.5'' from the valley cover int he center. THe reason I say this is because I'm worried if the fuel bowl will bang into the spyder roofline.
I've already accepted the rear window won't fit if I go this way and am prepared to figure out how to have an air intake scoop similar to the Aussie cars in order to gain more clearance there, but I'm not willing to start chopping into the spyder clip roofline.
Rear window - useless
Spyder roofline - very important
lol
So I'm hoping somebody who has there car there, and a tape measure, can help me figure out if a carb is a go, or a no go with the above description.
