A thousand dollars to put carbs on a 2.9... good lord why....

 

[PetroleumJunkie412]

Yeah, no idea.

The six pack with carbs and velocity stacks for the 2.9 24v are £1700 IIRC.

I'll stick with efi

 

[sheep herder]

But they look really cool.

Tri-power, the good ol' days

EFI doesn't have the "looks" of tri-power, like the K&N filters, all looks, not better but not the point

In the immortal words of Billy Crystal as Fernando Lamas on SNL, "its better to LOOK GOOD, than to feel good, dahling"

I wouldn't want a chromed out engine bay, but they sure "look good, dahling", lol

Too much money, but cool!

I’m actually a fan of efi, but for NA engines carbs can work quite well. Almost no moving parts, meters fuel simply by the shape of the parts.

Not much difference between that and the stock efi lower intake. If you had a lathe and a mill you could make the stock efi intake work.

Poor Grimace. He should give up and go get a fresh burger.

Which lower?

Any of the 3 above. Get some aluminum round stock, turn it down and drive it in the injector holes with some epoxy. Get some 1 inch thick aluminum stock however wide you need, and make 3 adapters to adapt those carbs to the manifold.

I think someone should just get three 12volt cooling fans like from a computer and mount them on the EFI intake you know like SUPERCHARGER fans but THREE OF THEM, talk about fast fast fast, 3 times the power of one turbo or one supercharger

Think big or go home

Don't bore me with CFM numbers, practical matters are for the mundane thinkers

These are out there.

Diy setups on top of the stock upper.

It's why I told rusty to to it ....

Says who? I knew an old pastor who had a 32 pickup that was 302 HO swapped.

I was looking under the hood one day and at first thought it had a quad carb setup, until I noticed the fuel injectors.

If you’re going to go EFI though you may as well go with port injection. I do like the way Webers look, but mostly I like carbs because they work and are essentially simple. Younger guys who don’t have experience with properly set up good carbs have misconceptions about how they work, but when well tuned the driveability of something like a Weber is surprisingly good.
