Weber carbs?

Are the Weber carbs from AMT -63 Corvette or other Webers TRaKable? I'm thinking about using them on a 392 Hemi with a converted log manifold in a T.

Weber carbs have been around for aeons, so there's no problem as long as you keep the intake traditional as well.

Edit:

To elaborate a little more on the subject, they defintely fit within our timeframe, but it's just as much a matter of how you use them:

This forum is just as much a matter of style as it is of vintage - Old parts can theoretically be combined in a near infinite number of ways, many of which were done, others never thought of back in the day.

We've had numerous discussions on the topic of what's "traditional" and not, as everyone has different opinions on what looks "right" for a particular era - The debate is quite a minefield, as there's no definitive answer-key apart from what can be derived from old photographs, magazines etc. so it's really a matter of judgement.

In regards to the Weber carbs, a quartet of these would look right at home on a late-sixties' style T-bucket like the one below, and equally out of place on a primered Model A with a hopped-up flathead, blackwall bias-ply tires and steelies:

I know they have been around, i was just asking about how traditional they are. They are not the most common carbs.

AGREED....I have seen them on tons of 1:1's...no worries, they are still used today...it's a traditional part.
