No right now I am aiming for a carbureted system. Preferably gravity fed for absolute simplicity. I really don't think I'd ever want a turbo and the inherent additional complexity involved. Aiming to keep it real basic. I have a couple of old NOS dual points distributors. I do have a set up made up as Tracy's early 3 Mikunni system but do not rule out a EC2 system down the road. The 155 hp is more than plenty and even perhaps over the top for the Falconar F12.
 
Right now I am not even sure that manifold will clear my engine mount. That again is as Tracy's early set up. I have a message in to the vendor for some dimensions.

  Michael,
      Other than the loss of exhaust scavenging and the resulting slight
loss of power as Ernest mentioned there  should be no down side and
155 hp should not be a problem with an efficient intake system ....Are
you going with fuel injection ??............
