I changed my mind about the single carb for now
and am going to try and use a set of Zenith Stromberg side draft carburetors
from a 2.0L Triumph TR7. These carbs are really cool. They
work like a motorcycle carb with the slide in the center. I measured
them out to be about 44 mm. The stock Solexes that I had only
measured about 34 mm. Because these carbs are side draft, the
manifolds are going to be a little tricky, but I think they are doable.
I will probably cut down the stock steel manifolds and extend them so
that they meet up with the carbs at the front of the motor. I'll
have to make some sort of adapter box out of sheet steel to mate up
with the square ends of these carbs. |
