    Congrats, man! I love the look of the engine without hoses running everywhere. I mean, everywhere. Look at the stock hose madness on our carbs!

    you can make the single carb work about the same as a dual.
    I'm just thinking:
    - a little more room in the engine bay
    - Easier to turbo (not that I'm doing that)
    - Cheaper to do the mod, manifold may be more expensive??
    - Slightly less weight, unless the manifold ends up real bulky.

    Actually, some have the opinion that a single DCOE 45 performs as well as twin DCOE 40s. Most DCOE turbo setups are "draw-through" (air and fuel are pulled through carb by the turbocharger and then sent through the turbo and into the cylinders) using a single DCOE 45.

    It seems like a single 45 would give a lot more room in the engine bay, although the manifold would be a bit more bulky.

    PhydeauX pointed out that the manifold isn't for our cars. If anyone wants to get it and modify it, here's the contact info:
