Dellorto 48 DHLA. It'll be really close to the hood.



I chopped some aluminum today. The only thing still in the way is the hood latch. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about it at this time. I'll probably leave it 'til later. I'd like to get the 20B running really soon. I'm also trying to get the 13B for the white truck ready to rebuild.
Just get some longer latch bolts and put some spacers between the hood and the latch to lift it for some clearance.Then I you need some carb clearance just put a small hood scoop on the hood just above it.Force feed that motor some air.

A TB elbow? Interesting.



If I had the LIM shortened, the hood latch would clear the UIM. I don't think I'll worry about mods like these until after the 13B has done its job in the car.



The only thing holding me back from taking the 20B out of the car right now is the other 13B that needs the engine stand for a rebuild. I inspected the rotors last night and they look usable. I also found my set of Viton oil O rings yesterday which completes the parts list for the rotors. The next step is porting. A half bridgeport should do well in a truck. Right?

In a repu a halfbridge is overkill.Which is good, very good.

i think a modded t2 tb elbow might work for that
Not for whats he's talking about.He wants to replave the TB with a Dellorto but not all the air holes line up.He will need to figure out some funky adapter to adapt that carb with.

I'm hoping a half BP will get around the poor cruising characteristics of a full BP. I'm scheduling some time for myself to start porting today.

As usual I didn't get around to porting today, but I did manage to take a picture of the car.

If I have enough time to set up the camera in a different postion, I'll take another color pic of the side so you can see how much clearance there is.



It was interesting setting up the camera and lenses in some lens holders on a tripod. The red convergence was off a little because the camera moved.
