Hi, what do we think? What spec should i take a 1.3 to for daily use. 40's are out for a start, (too thirsty)

I'm thinking,
Weber 34/32.
Flowed head
vernier,
Four branch manifold,
Ashley or similar exhaust.
cam? How wild could i go on the twin choke weber and still keep it fairly economical?

Any SENSIBLE suggestions welcome.:)

280-290deg cam should be ok.

Personally id just stick a 1.4 mpi or 1.6 mpi in there, but thats probably just my hatred of carbs lol lol

Thats the same setup ive got on my daily 1.4 SRaloon appart from the flowed head and vernier,but mines going on 40s sod the fuel lol.As it is at the mo with the 4 branch,sportex centre pipe and janspeed backbox she still does fairly well on fuel tbh.

when it started, it sounded like a WW1 aircraft.... and it smelt of unburnt petrol
