Herb, I just went with the sidways carb setup because of the Offy intake. I couldn't mount it any other way cause if I used a spacer I would have hood clearance problems. I had to "dimple" the hood bracing a little just to get the GN air cleaner setup to work. Also, pulled a accelerator cable from a old Chevy Astro in the junkyard. It was long enough for my application. Hope this helps.
