    Sorry I'm late to this thread. A HS buddy of mine was the person that got me interested in Mitsubishi.
    He had a 1981 Dodge Challenger with the 2.6 4G54 and he was running a twin two barrel Mikuni side draft carburetor set-up.

    This set-up was very tight in the engine bay.
    There were no air filter/cleaners, just short velocity stacks and we had to trim off some of the bell on #4 to clear the brake booster.

    It was probably from a RHD vehicle. The engine really needs a cool air charge from outside of the engine bay to make the most of torque and HP improvements the PPH carbs can produce. This is one of the grievances I have with side draft carbs is the sheer volume of engine bay room they take up (and the weight if you're using Weber DCOE's - and a whole litany of things that make me not a fan of them...)
