The Morgan 4/4 GT models had a Weber DCD 28-36 two barrel progressive
opening carb with mechanically operated 2ndary throat. They used a standard
Ford GT inlet manifold and a special tubular exhaust header that Morgan had
made for the car and that was available from the factory up until around 10
years ago. I don't think that they are supplied any longer. The cam and
compression ratios were also different. The rated output was 83 hp.
