Of course it was the taller block Peter!! My brain is fading today.... My car has the earlier radiator and mounts but the fitment of the Guy Croft motor with it's twin 40's may preclude fitment of that when the air filter is on. A bridge I will cross in due course.

Hi Guy

That is the downside to the side draughts, getting cool air to them is a challenge, hence why I guess the G4 Beta had curved trumpets for its carbs.

I have a plan Peter. But I don't know what it is until the engine is installed and the radiator nailed in place..... It'll probably involve some ducting and shielding somehow...

Finally,  I ordered a second-hand 82365758 and processed it.
The 82365758 is slightly longer than the 82292354.

I wouldn’t get too hung up on getting cold air into the carbs on a UK car. Carburettor icing is way more of an issue here and is completely avoided by accepting warmer air for a marginal performance penalty.

Nice solution, is that longer one from a saloon?

From what I could find out,

82292354 (about 470mm) for S1,S2
82365758 (about 500mm) for S3 (828 BC.1 FL)

For a saloon(Berlina) is 82291529 (400mm).
