Seriously Considering Webers for Future.
I really am liking this setup, a set of Weber DCOE carbs, twin side draft configuration, set up to bolt right onto almost any 4 bbl manifold. I'm thinking chrome finish for the manifold adapter and the two carbs.
What kind of fuel pressure is required for these two carbs? Anyone know the CFM of the 40mm units combined?
I sent a note to the folks at Inglese but they have yet to respond and I thought I would check with you guys.
I have some cool filter ideas in my head for these as well. Just something I would like to do further down the road after the wedding this coming June.

depends on the venturis.
40mm = 1.57" throttle bore
a 32 mm venturi has a diameter of 1.25 or so
a 31 mm venturi has a diameter of 1.22 or so
So your looking at around 600cfm(1.57" throttle bore, and 1.22" venturi in a holley)

Yeah 45mm carbs with 36mm venturis should do the trick.
I have the adapter and linkages if you want them. Hell if 600cfm turns out to be enough for you I have some dellorto carbs too.

Maybe better to consider the cross ram four DCOE manifold as it has much longer runners, more torque (closer to LSx/Super Ram runner length), though more money too?

Budget is certainly part of the puzzle, since the way I will probably go is buy my own Webber 152 carbs for under $200 each, and send them to Inglese. I think the $400 for the carbs will save me close to $600 from Inglese based on what I read another fellow did a year or so ago.
The other thing is that 4 of the carbs would be way too much for a 405. The two 45mm carbs should be perfect for me.

For an individual runner system your going to want a 55mm carb.

It'll be a while before I consider this enough to actually do it. Lots of deciding factors. I could buy and install a kick *** fuel injection system for the same money. I'm just doing research.

Yeah...
I have a friend with the four carb cross ram on a 377ci (Grand Sport clone), and it's the proper setup with correctly sized and jetted carbs.
It's as close as you can get to FI with carbs.

Cool setup 
I've never run 'em on a V-8, but I built a couple of Spridget engines and a few 1.8 and 2.0L MGB engines (<-never again)
High cool factor, but I have to think they'd be a PITA for a daily driver.

zI have a set of Mikuni side draft carbs that I had on a street rod. They sit on an aluminum riser and the runners etc look similar to your picture. They have some billet aluminum air cleaners from street and performance. I had them mounted on a 454 with a B&M street blower. If you are interested, let me know. They were a hot item in "the day". Many street rodders ran them. I don't have a picture but you probably know what they look like. Darrel
