Just to throw out an unusual question....

I've been into performance cars and motorcycles for a while, and on many of them, there were sidedraft carbs. For example, an inline six would use 3 sidedraft Webers or Mikunis. The intake manifolds are usually pretty short and simple to build if needed. The big benefit was increased engine breathing, especially at high revs, which isn't what our Dodges are designed for, but the carbs also increased the low end power quite a bit due to the shorter intake path.

Just food for thought.....
