What are These?
Found this image of a pro-street Mustang II w/ dual quads on what looks like a tunnel ram -- same basic setup as me -- but his Hilborn is WAY higher than mine. Are those some sort of spacers on top of his carbs? If so, where do I get them?Dual Quad Tunnel Rammed "Are you INSANE?" 5.0L H.O. '78 Mustang II

Looks to me like if there is a spacer it's under the carbs. That blue color under the scoop doesn't look smooth like a spacer would, colored area looks more like part of the carbs. to me, but the pic. isn't clear enough to say for sure. Or maybe that's just my failing eyesight?

I would think nitrous would be injected lower ..closer to the heads in the intake runners.Originally posted by Was_II

Probably just 2" carb spacers. I can't say for sure though without more of a close up picture.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

You're right, that is a BDS (I just Googled BDS and took a good look
) and there are bosses on the bottom, but there's still something -- the seafoam green things -- between the carbs and the scoop -- or maybe the green / blue things are part of the carb linkage and there's something else between the carbs and the plenum. Man, I wish I had a larger (or more hi-res) picture.
