I'm a newbie here so apologies if this question has been asked/answered a 100 times before (I have tried a search but can't find a definitive answer). Does anyone know if this setup on a 347 Windsor will fit under the Type 65 hood? Hopefully I've managed to attach the picture! Thanks guys!

You will need to modify the hood with a custom scoop.....(been there, done that, have the mold)...da Bat
Jim Inglese offers short horns that should clear.

I have a three deuce set up on mine that clears the hood. It is tight to the cowl of the body however. Don’t know if that helps at all, possibly the stacks will be into the cowl area as well.

Thank you - do you have a photo of the modified hood?

I had to look that one up (three deuce) - being from across the pond I hadn't come across it before! It's what I have on my little TVR (which is a V6 - photo attached) but we always call it "triple webers" over here. But what I forgot to mention in the original post was that the picture is an EFI setup disguised as Weber IDAs, so an 8-stack is probably the logical way to go so as to have one injector per pot. Valid point about the cowl though - thanks for that.
