Ron,

I believe you will need a different manifold. I know APT sells one 
that will allow you to fit a single larger SU. Seems most single 
manifolds are made to fit the Mini, so you need one with less angle 
for the Spridgets. I'm wondering if you couldn't make up the 
difference with a wedge shaped spacer block that would angle the carb 
down some. I assume this set-up still uses one(?)
