I think yonks ago there used to be an angle casting that bolted on the standard downdraught manifold to replace old Solex carbs with a single SU, but
you would probably have to make something now or fit bike carbs!!! that would be like 4 SU's..........

SU to start with is one from a 1275 BL engine that give a choice of sizes - but to tell the truth it isn't worth the effort -- start with a
Weber it will cost less in the end. SU needles aren't as cheap as they used to be and are getting harder to find.
