Carbking,
Thanks for the info. What is your phone number, I will call you today?

To add to the post, the McGurk intake is a log intake manifold. It has three down tubes to the head. The "LOG" is a long box, with accomodations for up to 5 carbs. I have fabricated a top plate to block off two, and use the other three. I am not sure if I understand the issue with linkage and the intake? Are you referring to a clearance issue? If so, I dont think I will have this issue, as I also fabricated transition tubes from my top plate. So, I formed 2.0" round stainless tube transitioned to the oval shape to mate properly with the stromberg base plate. I also fabricated adapter plates to then tie the carb into my transition tubes. Its all polished, and is pretty slick, I might add. So, the carbs are up above the log intake by about 2", clearance should not be a problem.
