Mantree91, to answer your question I really like the single carb. Now about the log style intake, the ‘wings have an opposing 4 cylinder engine and our ventures are a v4 so I do not believe that a log style intake manifold would function well on the venture. Here’s the link to the kit I installed so you can see the what the intake manifold looks like. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F254289566865

I would build a box that would run front to rear and then 90 degree bends from the sides down into the boots. My other thought is something similar to what you have but with a 2 inch colector in the middle with the carb mounted at the flair.

Okay I see where you’re going with this. I don’t see why you couldn’t do it, just watch your clearances and make sure it fits under the false tank cover. Also make the runners and connections as smooth as possible. Love to hear how it turns out and good luck with your design!
