We have also considered this set up. However, SU's seem to perform best with higher air velocity. Have serious doubts that you could get the 2" to breathe properly, even in race conditions.
As a side note, a lot of work was done with multi carb setups on Minis, and in the end a single large carb gave best performance for most situations.
It might be worth the effort to find a single carb B18 manifold and try just one 2" carb. If you are looking for a project, this one might give good results. Will be interested in how it all turns out.
We have a set of 2" as well. Watch for input from Dead Volvo Society (my brother and family). Our 2" are more likely to end up on the 164.
