Who said you need Webers? I believe Steve Allen and I are running 2L carbs
with a ported manifold and modified linkage. I do believe you can use 1600
carbs but you'll need different needles. You'll have better bottom end but
run outta steam after about 5500 RPMs or so.
I have researched the Weber idea but I'm not going down that road as all
1600 manifolds use 40 DCOEs and a stroker with a cam would really need 45
DCOEs if you plan to rev it past about 6000 RPMs.
I use comp springs, a Manley Proflo valves and another Isky DR66 cam.
There ain't no substitute for cubes and my car is faster than my 1600 ever
was.
