Between the two it is wither you want a side draft or down draft, the side draft manifold has longer runners, now from my experience with the side draft in a very light car, keep the sleeves in the intake for low rpm power and use the side draft, for out right upper end power; there are better carburetors than the weber.

Side drafts are a big No No for me , if I want some low end I'll use a nickki carb . I dont know of any carbed car that has a runner that does a 180 . Racing Beat will tell you side drafts are not the best carb ether , and they have some experience that is hard to beat. In my experience down draft webers and modified stock carbs are the only way to go. I had a holly and it would cut out when I took a sharp corner ,use a lot of gas and would flood if I parked on a hill with the driver side higher than the passenger side ( or vise versa ).If there was a manifold for the idf I would probably use it , but since they don't I'm using an ida .Rio if you want to sell your down draft and manifold (12a) let me know.
