An earlier quote from Bruce:

A 1608 comes stock with a 28/36 I believe which is about the same as a 1800
with 32/32. so 40's should be fine. I tell supplier what car they are going
on and they set up for it. 40's do take a little fine tuning but I am told
that's the "fun" of it.

Talked to earlier today. He said that the dual carbs are made to fit the car and should have no problem with fitment. They have a vaccum port on the manifold for the brake booster so that is also not a problem. Clearance is also good since these are nearly identical to the factory option that Fiat had in the 60's and 70's. He has to order them from his distributers so it takes 4-5 days to get to him and a few more to get to me. Yay.

He also said his radiators were about $300 and were aftermarket, not 30 year old 'new' radiators. They do not have plastic tops, they are all metal. I like that. I think.
