Let me add to mark's comment.
Since the head design of the 8 port head is vastly different from the design
of the Weber DCOE side draft, It is much more efficient to have a dual Weber
DCOE setup so that the manifold runners will be more equal in length.
With a single side draft, the outside two runners are longer than the inside
two and it is therefore difficult to balance the cylinders with a single
carb.

My suggestion is to toss that downdraft and its associated convoluted
manifold and put in a real sidedraft carb!
Sorry, couldn't resist. I've been going through Spitfire withdrawals,
I really need to get one back on the road for the upcoming fall season
here in the mountains of Utah.
