The original Solex and Weber carbs were made for the Alfa Sud V6 engine that had a tighter intake port spacing. Porsche worked around that by having the outer two intake manifolds curved to line up with their port spacing. Outstanding machine work. My skills are limited to rolling latex paint on to drywall.

an "S" curved manifold under the outer throttle bodies to align them with the intake ports.
That motor sounds very real, but I think it should have cookie cutters rather than trumpets.
