Welcome to the Maestro and Montego Owners Club. Why not post in the Welcome & Feedback forum and introduce yourself?
Not much room for error right enough dan. As the carbs are exactly the same angle with original single carb set up it should be OK. The oulet of the blower however will be tight against rad. It's the single plenum that will weld onto the two plenum stubs on the inlets of carbs I'm most worried about. I need to use 37mm restrictors plates - these are 5mm thick which will bring the single plenum that mach closer to the bulkhead.
Don't know if your interested mike but I have 2 alloy rover v8 airbox elbows for those carb plates. Bought them to do my twin carb setup but not doing it now.
Thanks for the offer Dave - but I'm building a plenum for those carbs. Are you going injected now?
cheers
mike...
No worries....custom plenum nice!
In the future yep.. It should be good for 270+ with the single carb for now. Then if I want more I will go fuel injection and new turbo.
Had the car over 2 years and have never driven it.
Rattys old engine is being rebuilt now though as we speak

Hi Dave - if you ever decide to go twin carbs again I have the gooons old twin inlet manifolds that maybe of interest to you?
cheers
mike...
Have you...?
I wondered where that went lol
I have all the other bits for it ....lol
Well to be honest I would be interested in the manifold if you have it. That's mainly what put me off was going to all the effort of making another inlet manifold.
Hi Dave - try not to use the throttle configuration the gooon was using - it was rather crude if I remember correctly. Speak to Burlen and get them to send you a new throttle linkage - very cheep! I've sent you a pm.

Ok great ...yeah I was looking at linkages the otherday
It's a Ford Escort CVH one that has a specially made adepter so it fits to the O-series head. Piper Cams said they could sell us an ex display CVH vernier for £80 - they normally sell for over 100. I may be able to make you the adapter - but I need to speak with my local machine shop first. Of course the cam will need set up correctly.
