I am considering replacing the two SU HD6 carbs on my Daimler 2.5 V8 with four Weber DCNF 40s. But before I shell out a redicioulous amount of my hard earned I need to know if four DCNFs will actually fit the rather small Daimler V8. The port spacing is 95mm even between the four inlet ports.
So does anyone have a DCNF they can measure or know the following measurments;
1. Overall height from base to top of carb without any extension/trumpets? 2. Overall width 3. Overall length 4. Length from center bore to both front and backside.
And the reason for chosing the DCNFs is that they supposedly are the smallest dual barrel carbs. Smaller than bothe IDF and Dellortor DRLA. Oh and the fit acros the V instead of along it.

Can't help with sizing, but you can change the chokes on dcnfs too.
What about bike carbs ?

Yes i know, I'd probably start of with tuning similar to a Ferrari 206 Dino as it had three carbs for 2 liters and I'd be running four carbs for 2.5 liters.
But it all depends if I can manage to fit them all on the engine and below the bonnet line
