maybe the collective brains here know.on some very fast small mopars i have noticed the carb mounted sideways.is this to prevent secondary bog?or what
 
I have seen it dun to slant 6'es Never on a V8.
 
1 reason is that some tunnel rams did not allow 2 carbs in line when both carbs have secondary metering block, sorry , i had tunnel ram on the brain, you meant single carb, SORRY

I have seen them on a non turbo slant to, and thought of running mine side ways . But it's doing great the way it is, It might be best to run it side ways.

actually saw it a while back on a 9 sec. w2 340 racer and the other night on pao on a big chev it was a dominator sideways oh yeah the mopar was at pomona
 
Iv seen carbs turned side ways to stop the secondary jets being uncover of fuel on cars that 60ft really hard.
but jet extentions are cheaper than the adapter plate that turns the carb, so it seems I a bit pointless to me :dontknow:
 
We had a fastback mustang come through the shop not long ago with a side ways mounted Holley. The intake was designed that way... pretty cool looking no doubt. I have always wondered the thinking about the configuration.
 
Downunder we had factory 6's with 4bl carb mounted sideways was always told it was to stop fuel surge when cornering.
