<x-charset iso-8859-1>I also belive that there is actualy clearance variations between T3 and T34 engine bays. I have had duel webbers and stock solexes in my unmolested T3 62 notch engine bay. Tight but no small dings or cuts needed. The only problem is the electro cut offs. They were very tight and I had to use the standard non cut off jets. > The main problem with installing dual solexes on 62-63 model Type 3s is > that there isn't enough room for the throttle linkage. The sheet metal > around the engine was changed in late 63 to allow the extra room needed. > I've seen a number of early cars with crude holes cut away from the side > sheet metal to give the needed clearance, a very sad sight indeed.
