Well, oddly enough I ran carbs off an old Volvo too - same 16 degree 
tilt. (on a Spitfire) I found that once the engine was adjusted to less
 back pressure (I also fit a Monza exhaust) that the SUs self adjusted to 
the increase in vacuum. The mix adjust on the bridge should take care of 
any other concerns.

I did lowwer the float valves to prevent spillage out the low end of the
bowl. With a really high tune you may suck the bowls dry but I really 
doubt it.

As far as the bushings I have nylon and it did firm things up but did 
nothing to the ride height. Shocks and springs will but not bushings.
Several netters cleared ME up on this with my Healey.

Have fun. The exhuast makes a bigger difference in performance than I 
would have believed !
