The Javelin car has downdraught carbs maounted low alongside the front wheel with ducts to the air cleaner in the bonnet. I sometimes ran with just cheesecloth across the carb mouths...until it swallowed one. (Incidentally the distance to siamesed valves only about 3 inches and a remarkable amount of fuel spray was ejected from the carbs. But it sounded great!)
