Doug,

FWIW,

After comparing the "wrap-around" manifold and carb with the space avaliable
on my Long-EZ project, it does appear that it will fit the envelope behind the
firewall  There is 1-2 inches between the carb and the block, which one might
be able to use for ducting for carb heat.

Due to the taper from the top of the firewall to the prop flange, a  slight
rise may be required on the cowl.

But for the most part, the assembly does look like it will fit the envelope.
However, there also may be some interferences  relative to the alternator and
the thermostat area of the water pump, and if spacers are used to lengthen
the overall intake run - the tube for the oil dipstick may interfer.   Haven't
check it all out.

Caveat etc...

Joe Graham

Thanks Joe for the correction.
