You can run an XE on 45's, yes. But you will need some sort of management. Have a search about on here. There are a few carb fed XE's.

you wont need management... not if you ditch the whole xe dizzy and ecu and loom. Run a carb dizzy... Or I have a H&H dizzy for mine, which has ben set up for the carbs

you need the dizzy setup from a 1.6 big block engine.

the 1.4 setup shouldnt fit/work.


Pete, you bin the management and use a good(crap) old fashioned dizzy.

The Cav 1.6 carb engine dizzy is the one to use on a budget or use the H&H dizzy if you have the cash as its the better option imo i used it on mine (see my saloon wip)
