Could someone with triple webers take a measurement?

I'm looking to find how far it is from the head to the end of the air cleaner.



I'm thinking these would look quite nice in the Healey :) The car is off to be painted while I get the engine figured out.

This will vary widely depending on manifold used, and air cleaners used.

If someone measures, they need to specify manifold length and air cleaner length. The carbs are 109mm no matter what (as I recall), but the difference between a Mikuini and old Nissan Comp, FET, Hyashi Racing, Cannon, Pipercross, Lynx, et al can be quite dramatic, over 2" difference. And the Air cleaners? 50mm to 125mm widths+ are available.

Best procedure is to get the manifold/carb setup and then size the cleaners and horns to the size you have available.

If it was EFI, you can get triple bodies as narrow as 25mm with injector mounts in them!
Thanks Tony,

Anyone have a measurement, and your set up? Are we talking 8 inches, 10 inches, 12 inches, more?

thanks,
Ken
I'll measure mine...see I have the stubby cannon intake so my top end suffers but everything still fits under the hood....including some fat air cleaners Gotta remove the master cyl. to remove the filter closest to the firewall.

14 .5" from head to element end but it's a fat element! You can go short element W/long intake.
