Mounting a carby on its side, okay or not?

Ive got a red 202 engine in my HR and because I'm used to driving around in turbo cars I've got the itch to go turbo again. Now because I don't have a budget, no this doesn't mean money isn't an option =P I mean I don't have much money at all to play with at the moment. I'm looking at doing an old school suck through setup with the carby in front of the turbo with the turbo sucking in the fuel/air mix from the carby. My question is that I'm looking at just using the factory Stromberg carby, maybe 2 of them as I've got some laying around here, but I wanted to know are there any negatives/dangers to mounting the Stromberg on it's side like sidedraught carbys are mounted? I know it's probably a silly question but I'm not really a carby person. - Chris. 1966 HR Special 202 with Trimatic [URL="http://www.fastlane.com.au/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12326"]My 1966 HR Special[/URL] Edited by user Tuesday, 18 September 2007 8:54:36 AM(UTC)
