I've had debates with guys over what orientation a 4 bbl carb should be on a modified L6. My personal opinion -- and I am no High Performance expert -- is that with the carb looking ''sidesaddle'' the primaries open up to the cylinders evenly. With a 90* pitch, 4-5-6 will get the full blast of opening secondaries first.
Experts tell me it doesn't matter.
If transmission linkage is an issue, I can see using that configuration. I cut the Ford kick-down parts off my Holley 390 -- I run the SM465 manual.
Very neat A/C set up, BTW.
