I just got my motor a couple weeks ago, for months the engine builder was been waiting on IDA webers. The engine is Dart block 427 with 9.5 deck height. I have it in the car with transaxle bolted up just to get all the plumbing done. My buddy shows up and we decide to put the read deck lid on, we found the deck lid has been fabricated with the area for the carbs off to one side by 1.25 inch. Its a SPF Mk1 and the area where the carbs protrude up through the deck hit one side. I am not wanting to take a saw to the deck so we started with options. Looks like with the added hight I have a problem manufacturing some kind of air-cleaner also. Down the road I was going to convert to EFI throttle bodies so that is what is going to happen. My question is what is the whole system worth together or should I sell carbs and manifold and distributor separate? What are brand new 48 IDA's worth with a box of jets? The manifold is windsor block manifold with spacers for the added deck height, the distributor has an extension on it for the higher manifold. I am willing to trade for EFI and Cleveland manifold for someone who doesn't like EFI. Idea's opinions welcome.
