What carb setup for my 250?

I measured the combustion chambers tonight. 58-59cc's.

Im going to whack 030 off the head after I double check the block height.

Whats the thinnest head gasket that can be found now?
 
I did some mocking up on the cylinder head tonight.

I dont think I can modify the log for a 2V and still close the hood.

That leaves me with a choice of 1,2 or 3 1V carbs.

Im going to try and get the 200 out this weekend and bolt the bell to the spare block and C4. Once I sit it in place with the 250 mounts I will know exactly how much room I have to the hood.

I put a piece of 2x8 on the 200 block and sat the head on that with a piece of cardboard for the gasket. Thats pretty close to what I will have with the 250 provided the engine mounts only raise the deck height 1.7 inches. That only leaves me about .4in of clearance to the hood. The 2V will be about an inch taller than the 1100. So, Im .5in short without an aircleaner.
 
"...modify the log for a 2V and still close the hood...."
that's 1 reason some modify the log. I've seen it called a '2V direct mount'.
There ar 6 or 8 'raise the hood' ideas IIRC.
