Thanks a bunch for the info here.

What I have is the same as Chris Dimmock, and a set of later large  
breather tri-carb manifold to fit HD8 or HD6 carbs. They have bigger  
stuff on the underside than the HS6 used on tri-carbs. I also have the  
SS Falcon works style headers that need some clearance on the footwell  
side.

I really wanted to see how the chassis area looks withe frame and  
footwell modifications, so this is all very helpful.

Here's the engine with manifolds for HD type carbs:
