I bought a couple HD8 carbs on Ebay years back, $225 for the pair. Not a
bad deal. The issue is as other have stated, the float bowls are parallel
with the carbs and the ones for the Healey need to be canted slightly. The
carbs I bought were from a Jag most likely. I found two Healey float bowls
that are correct. If I'm not mistaken, I should be able to put them on my
BJ7 once I get a 2" manifold. Right now I have three HS6 carbs on bored out
to 1 3/4 manifolds which work......sometimes. I guess that most use HD6
carbs for this application.

Gergo,
My XK 150 has 2 HD6 Carbs (1 3/4"), although admittedly it's way
undercarbed. It's a 3.8L with some hopped up cams.
Are you upgrading to HD8's or do you have a triple HD8 setup currently?
I've been toying with the idea of upgrading to HD8's.
