Now there's an intriguing technical problem - designing a manifold to take a 
4-bbl carb
which minimizes the variations in intake tract length. One would only need a 
relatively
small 4-bbl carb to handle the U20 - 250 cfm would be plenty. Anyone familiar 
with Holley
products know if they make a carb in that range?

P.S. - For those of you who seem to worry about these things - I'm at work, but 
I'm off
the clock... ;^)
