Here's what the curved ones look like. I use silicone model airplane style fuel line because it lasts forever. Your modified stock manifolds look fine to me.jbruney,

OK, so far no one responding has done it, or would do it.
Jim > JSMotorsports has put together Commando and vertical mounted motor intake manifolds with the balance tube above the centerline of the intakes for his Keihin CRS carburetor kits. He may have a reason for putting the balance tubes above the centerline.

Add positive crank case pressure relief to that list. haI bet it also solves wet sumping and poor alt output too!!

I like yours better. Mine are hacksawed and hand filed.
Thanks for the tip on the model airplane fuel line. The vacuum hose I'm using is too soft. Initially it collapsed a little until it went trough a couple of heat cycles. It's a little stiffer now, but really has to be replaced.
