Brian,
I picked up a Mk II rolling chassis with drivetrain that has a custom
adapter from the stock twin SU carb manifold to a "pinto" style Motorcraft
"weber" (weber design used by Ford in the '70s).
As it came to me as a bare chassis I have no idea if it even worked...but if
an 1147 owner wants to try it contact me off list. Or if they want the 1147
drivetrain. :-)
Cheers,
Jim
