Fitech or Holley sniper on tunnel ram
I do not have a tunnel ram, but rather a blower and went through this when I switched from the carbs to the Fitech. The carbs were mounted sideways as you are asking, and I of course had the linkage set up as such:
Upon getting the Fitech, yes they are shaped slightly differently and would not fit the way the carbs were I had to rotate them. But because I cut the hood previous to make way for the linkages on the carbs, I wanted to continue to keep it as much the same as I could. So what I did was also rotate the linkage in the same direction and moved the 'main bar' to the back as opposed to the side and made new linkages up to make it work.
I had to also go with a new throttle cable (Lokar) as the stock one I had been using was not giving me enough travel to get wide open throttle on the Fitechs. With a bit of playing around I got it eventually, but figuring that out was probably the most tedious part because I had to redo that part of the throttle linkage. Here is how it looks with everything shifted. A bit of work, but I kept it pretty close to how it was with carbs, though I did have to turn them.
Here is a photo of someone with them set up as you were asking on a blower, but I am not sure what size it is. Definitely not a 6-71 like mine.
Hope that helps
