Hi everyone,

 

I'm looking at fitting a single Dellorto 40 side draught to my 5K, and the mounting is the same as the 40DCOE Weber I've been told. The issue is the only manifold I can find for a single side draught is for a 45DCOE.

 

Question is, do the 40 and 45 DCOE Webers have different mountings?

 

Thanks

No, they're all the same.

No, they're all the same.

 

Ah, good!

...and you could race a 1600cc on a pair of 45DCOEs, so 1500cc should handle a single on that manifold fine. Blend the hole size going manifold to head, but leave the carb-manifold as a step to reduce reversion.

Hmmm,

 

Redline does the manifold for it, so would need to get hold of the manifold first and have a look at the runners. I reckon it should all work pretty well. Still deciding whether I should do it or not, but at this stage it seems like it will work better than the down draught Weber that's on there.

 

Cheers

I reckon I had one at some stage. If it's new I reckon that the holes were a smidge above 40mm, but not much. Personally I'd stick with the down draft until I could afford EFI or twin side drafts. :)
