They bolt to the heads are at an angle, but from the flat where the carbs mount down to the fan side of the head, I get aprox. 2-3/4" or 7cm. And that is the same for both single and dual ports.

yep they are that short and i am guessing you'll get clearance problems with the alternator... you need higher manifolds but you could use the carbs on your car. i am sort off planning a combo like yours but with type3 carbs for the squareback. but i need to do a lot before i can tell you how it runs. but i know a guy that has a 1835cc with original type3 carbs if i am correct and it runs good. i'll need to check it though. he lives close by, i'll bump into him sometime and ask him then.

Yes they are.



Thanks for the pic mark they are really short Shocked Smiley by the way is that a buggy chassis in the back ground Huh Smiley

And nicolas I am not planning on using type 3 carbs/manifolds - I just wanted to know what kind of length they were so I could shorten a pair of race trim manifolds I have  Wink I have seen it done before and I have a friend who can machine the new top plates for me  Smiley
I am planning on running a pair of Weber 40DCN's (like the ONE i have at the moment Cheesy) I have 3 spare and I have lined up an original DDS linkage that should work with the SHORT manifolds - I hope  Smiley

Linkage: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=636312  Smiley

ps I have a Dynamo - so no clearence issues there - its the rear body work that effects the height of the manifolds  Smiley

You're welcome, and yes that is what's left of this. Going in a different direction with a body. Woody meets roadster, with a bit of volksrod thrown in.
