Reply to "multiple carb applications"

Only spotted your post now,so thought I would toss this in for what it's worth......I have converted to 4x Weber-downdaught IDA's,Hall intake on 4V closed-chamber 'quench' heads (with only the un-shrouding of the inlet),flat top pistons, mild Hyd.cam with roller rockers, (not roller-cam)finished off with Hall's excellent 180 degree exh. system,-sounds unbeleivable over 4000rpm, not at all loud either.......This combination I can highly recomend. The negative postings i have seen regarding the 180 type of exh.system being very heavy and hot is not a question at all when using the'right stuff'-quality-wise,- in fact the guy at the shop where i had the 180 degree 'bunch of snakes' ceramic-coated thought they were made out of titanim they were that light, and because of this very thinwall, beatifully welded,(wish I couldd afford a set to hang on my wall) they dissapate heat very quickly indeed,in fact you can grasp them,-i have, after a few minutes of shutting the motor down.- and they certainly were considerably lighter than the standard, restrictive set up........(In fact, in stressfull moments I take time to go to my workshop to just sit in the car and start it up, warm it up, get the old adrenalin pump working and listen to the music........(radio and other ribbish was ripped out long ago.....) Incidendly,the exh.,when un ceramic-coated, running on the previous motor,the deck-lid paint was un-marked over severall thousands miles........
Dont listen to the guys that tell you its a pain to set the Webers up etc , etc.....If your carb linkage is in good shape and properly set up,- on a Dyno. etc. they stay set-up for a long time.- they are exquisite, preciscion-made carbs. I have run 4x Webers for years on the street,on various cars and the best sound, other than the 180 exh.system, is the 'accoustic-symphony' that accompanes the wacking-open the throttle of one of these set-ups on a heathy V8..........You can tell I am into the Aural side of things, ......... I said aural. All the best, tai.
