Subject: Re: Anyone got experience with side draft carbs? by Little-Mouse on 2009/3/27 17:54:29 DB The side draft carbs or webers are designed to be used on individual runners, each throttle bore has its own individual runner generally with a very nice strait path runner to the head. Think about what will happen to the carb that is ment for one cylinder pulling out of each individual throttle bore now put on a plenium manifold. Besides screwing up the individual part of it if you look at your picture regardless if you change the distance on the carb spread, between the manifold runner of the head to the carb flange you have created almost a 180 degree bend. What bogus told you is correct other then the looks value you are creating a mess. Air traveling in as strait a path as possible is always a good thing two 90 degree bends in the runner not good. then there are certain runner lengths that are known to be good for an engine things like goofed up runner length messing up power bands. I'm not trying to be negative, looking at single four barrels on an engine is a little boring everyone has one. Consider something else. |
