I recently put a Qjet on my 5.0. I understand not wanting to use an adapter plate but i put one on top of a 2 inch spacer and love it. Obviously custom length bolts were a must.  Otherwise no probs and enjoy the fuel sipping abilities of the Qjet compared to the big H carbs.

little more info offenhauser says they are making the manifold i want . the man told me its about an inch higher than stock . he is going to check and call me back . summit part no. is ofy 5889-8b the 8b meaning 8 bolts on one side of the intake . they also offer a 6b. when i have this in hand i will know for sure . the ship date is 1-1-16. so it may be a while. fwiw.

got it . looks perfect. set a quad on it last night and the only problem is the tran. hookup for chev auto hits the manifold . not a problem for me i have standard trans. its a offenhauser 360. it also has the square bore bolt pattern. if i could post a picture i would . maybe one of my kid could help me. fwiw this is for a ford  351w .
