    Modern Valve kit and a Stromberg 97 on an slightly upgraded A engine?

    Modern Valve kit and a Stromberg 97 on an slightly upgraded A engine?

    intake boring

    Isn't a Harley carb a side draft, not an up draft? If so, you will have to fab an adaptor/elbow. i once saw a Pinto that had Honda 4 cylinder carburetors. Looked cool with 4 CV carbs.
