awesome thats good enough for me, i was looking at some pictures on google and didnt look like they came out any further than the exhaust would

2387cc accelerator pump to accelerator pump .These eng is wide 34''. You maybe 32''

ok here is a pic of it not a good one but gives an idea i know it is a older frame and measures out to a 87 inch wheel base

ok i measured inside tube to inside tube at the narrow end towards the back right around were the carb will be at and have almost 35 so i should clear no problem the thanks again guys for the quick response i really appriciate it

A lot of the newer frames are wider.on my older frame and a lot of the earlier ones they are extremely tight.I've seen a lot of them heat the tbg and beat the inside of the tbg in to get them to fit.some even cut the frame and bent them around them.my old frame is a champion explorer.I'd measure frame first if your not willing to cut or modify.I'll walk out and measure all 4 mine see what difference is.Ok my old 4 seater has 35 1/2", my old 2seater is 34 3/4 and I've tried duals on it before and they would hit on the sides and I never ran them,my 2seater I'm running now I made is 35 3/4" and my s/s I'm running now is 37" and has dual 40's on it and they are right at 35" wide at the fuel inlet.depending on how high your tbg sets to your motor and what intakes you run and filters if your just under 35" like my old frame they maybe to tight to run.you might want to be willing to rework your frame if they won't fit.Chad

NOW GAS IT!!!!!

id be willing to try somthing the carbs are like new and the guy is willing to meet me half way and i would be paying 300 for everything my frame is at 34 3/4 inside tube to inside tube maybe i can dent it in a little if need be i have a gas welder and tools to do the job but missing a tubing bender so i will try denting the tube slightly if need be if that dont work then i will see about widening the rear cage another few inches

I'd jump on them then.and that's what alot of guys do is heat them up and dent them in.just a frame but most guys don't want to beat on them,lol.I have no problems beating on a frame it's made to ride not be a museum piece,lol.besides powder coats just a fancy dancy primer ,lol.Chad

if you need a little room i got a set of intakes that will let you move the left carb to the right side and right side to left which will move the fuel inlets to the inside by the fan these intakes were set up for efi for vw bug that dont have room for fuel rails gives you about an 1-1/2" of room.

_________________
get you some

Ill keep the intakes in mind if i cant get these to work darrell thanks

If you need to do so this might help? http://www.woodsbuggy.com/index.php?opt ... 41#p103941
