the twin carb manifold is a home job so i would look at getting that made out of alloy instead of the steel plate

Hi Dave, looks heavy? You might have to upgrade the suspension on the passenger side
.

Gday Dave
I have here an article from Australian Hot Rod Nov 1966.
It shows a deluxe set-up on a red motor.
You can see in pic how the long thin casting
with "norman" cast into it, is the intake manifold.
It comes out from 'under' the unit to the
'elbow with the flange', which can be swiveled to level
the carby when the unit is swiveled to tension the drive belts.
Your unit looks to have a custom manifold, which allows the carbs
to sit 'over' the unit, which must have been turned upside down
in a custom instillation.

There are a few "Norman Freaks" on the FE/FC forum, try posting a thread or PM "ihadav8" or "4hammers".

Hi Dave
PM and email sent
For those that are interested, Dave's is the second version of the Norman blower for a greymotor. It's 65 CID, cast iron and water cooled. Dave's set up is straight out of the box(except for the twin Stommies), so to speak. It's not a custom built installation.
Here's another pic of one fitted to an EJ in SA
Hopefully we'll see it on the road one day
Great score Dave!!!
Cheers
Tony

Sorry Dave, Didn't try to lead you astray,
just sharing what limited info I had with you.
It looks like your in capable hands with IhadaV8,
Seems like, when he saw your post,
He couldn't register quick enough!!!
Great to have you onboard IhadaV8, to share your passion with us.
Whats with your Blown Grey, there looks to be some rare pieces
hanging of it? Is it a runner? Is it fitted in your ride?
I'm sure most of us would love to know

thommo looks like they are the manifolds that come with the unit
so all good there
but i do like the mock up twin carb manifold might be the go maybe get it made out of alloy
not sure if i should do a bit of work on the engine or just run stock
maybe a bit of head work what u reccon
