hi guys, I'm hoping someone somewhere can help with this little situation I have found myself in here.

I purchased this 5 carb Howard from US eBay, waited 4 months to get it to the UK to find it isn't as advertised. it was listed as a 270/302 intake, how ever the port spacing is off, the head on my 302 is 226mm and the intake is 218mm, both have 44mm ports.

the bolt spacing on the intake is very different to the 302 also, can someone confirm what this was originally for from the spacing on the bolts alone? it seems I have ended up with a super expensive wall hanger for time being.

I can't find any info on this particular set up online or in any books I have. any info, help or guidance would be great. Photos of this on my 302 are jus using 2 bolts to pinch it up for visuals.

click on the photos to make them larger, I didn't want to fill an entire page with photos.

Thanks Joe
