From my memory...I think it will fit in stock positon, if not, mounted more towards the front of the car.


Edit: Did a little more thought, and I think it sticks out too far to possibly fit in the stock position. Talk to DirectFreak, he would know for sure.

Maybe an exhaust spacer if it doesnt fit normally? Of course then you would have to fab other stuff.

okay i have to ask, why would you go out of your way to get a carb on a turbo engine? tuning it with EFI would be 3764372864372846237842373428 times easier. that is unless you like changing jets....

I am about 80% positive that you will either have to use an exhaust spacer to get this to work on the carb'd engine.

I've tried it and it DOES NOT fit . you will need a spacer for the exhaust manifold .
