30 cube vanny 2 barrel elbow question
« on: December 04, 2014, 10:21:55 pm »
The 16 hp vannys come with a single barrel carb so i bought everything to put a race prepped vanny 2 barrel off a 20 hp. If i flip the elbow around to attach the carb,will i have to change the linkage and will it even work

No, the linkage will not work like that, and you will need to fab a throttle cable clamp, and or different linkage.
If you quit when you're behind, you will never win.

Ok is there a way to do the carb to where big air filter is facing the front of the motor and not on top between the cylinders?  It get in the way of.my steering shaft,or do they make a short filter

Just simply turn the elbow around the other direction and make the carb point out the flywheel side. You will have to drill and tap a hole in the intake manifold face for the middle bolt. You will see its drill and tapped in the center on one side, but not the other. I believe its an M6-1.0 thread.

Also, the bores in the elbow will be out of alignment with the bores in the intake by about .070".

Yes EC sells a KN style filter to match their filter adapter, I believe it is 2" filter height, same oval diameters, call the sales desk and tell 'em ya want the short one.  Same price as the taller one if I remember right.

I actually turned my elbow around as Tyler said, and used a short filter to clear the side of the hood.  I did not hone the elbow or the intake to match, just drilled and tapped the middle bolt and went with it.  I think the engine runs just fine.

My buddy had no room so he modified stock air box to double barrel carb and got k&n filter for it. Having the cover on help with all the dirt and dust. His motor ran great all year.
