[Fot] Air filters for twin DCOE on a Morgan 4/4

Jack. 

There have been a lot of very good posts covering generic application DCOE air 
filters. For your application, from what I can tell you will need to modify the 
bonnet to clear any kind of filter on a twin DCOE setup. 
Excuse my lack of familiarity, as I've only worked with Morgan +4s, but looking 
up images of both crossflow and non-crossflow Ford powered 4/4s it looks like 
you will have the same problem with clearance for the front filter. 
Not sure if this is helpful, but I would check clearance first, then if you do 
need a scoop, determine how much clearance that would give you. The Super 
Sports type scoop TeriAnn mentioned should give adequate clearance for most 
filters. If you choose a filter with a flat back plate, you can fit stub stacks 
inside the filter to smooth the inlet flow.

I am getting ready to install a set of 40 DCOE Webers on my 1600 CC Ford engine 
in my Morgan.? The Webers came with short (about 1 1/2 inches) velocity 
stacks.? Does anyone know of a good air filter set-up for these carbs?? I know 
most of your race cars probably run without filters, but this is a street car, 
and I would really like to have filters.? Thanks.
Jack
