You need to watch out for clearance on the inlet and exhaust manifold, I had to have the inlet manifold to cylinder head face machined at an angle to clear the exhaust manifold and that was with a cooper freeflow and a inlet manifold that had the carb sitting as 90 degrees to the cylinder line. This may not be an issue with other manifolds.
Parts are not a problem, Southern Carburetors have all the parts available.
And while it does fit under the bonnet it is a close fit, though not helped in my case with the manifold angled slightley thus raising the carb upwards.
