Intake for MGB GT

task · Post by **task** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 9:58 am

I'm at the stage of my V8 MGB GT where I need to choose a bonnet and the engine top end parts.

I was set on hotwire EFI but the cam I ended up installing was a piper 270 rather than a 270i so I am considering a 4 barrel carb.

What intake manifold is likely to fit under the bonnet of an MGB (either the MGC bonnet/Costello bonnet or the RV8 bonnet)

I've been looking at the Edelbrock 500cfm carbs and Edelbrock 180 Dual Plane manifolds...

Mine has the Offy Dual port. Not a real good performance manifold apparently, but it's ok and it is the lowest manifold. On top of that is an eddy 500 and the 2 inch air cleaner. Clears an MGC bonnet, but the carb isn't level and I had to cut the wings off the air filter wing nut lol. I slightly lowered my engine mounts too.
