hey guys just wondering how i would go about popping twin carbs onto a 5k motor?

 

my dad is going to give me two sidedraught weber 40s from his alfa as he is upgrading to 45s, but would this be overkill for a 5k? the 5k i hope to run will be modded with a mild/wild cam, 4age pistons + decked block and high compession head, along with extractors. i know I would have to make/source a new inlet manifold but will she still fit with the engine slanted or do i have to straighten her up?

 

cheers everyone in advance!

Are they overkill? Nope

Will they fit in the engine bay with the slanted engine? Yep

 

Redline Hardimans sell inlet manifolds to suit. Their about $200ish. Linkage kits are $100+.

I even had ram tubes and socks on the carbs in my KE30.

never too big if you get the right sized chokes.

i got a pretty much standard 4k with twin 40's off a alfa (solex's) with 34mm chokes and she runs sweet. a bit thirsty though hahaha, 40l get 275k's, go global warming

you'll probably need to 'massage' the strut tower a little, depending on the air cleaners and manifold you end up using, but they certainly do fit, and they're not overkill for a half decent 5k...

 

plus they sound awesome...
