bigest carb engine for a vauxhall

[swordfish]

cos the nova i am getting was orignally a 1.0 there was no return fuel pipe to be able to fit a injection with a bigger engine and can really be that bothered fitting one.......

the car currently has a 1.4 bottom end and a 1.3 sr top end running on a carb....but its not working


so wot was the biggest size of engine that vauxhall did with a carb or carbs as standard that would fit my nova......
or is there a better combination i could use....

ie 1.8 bottom end with a 1.6 top end on carbs .......

cheers.

if the belmont one fits there 1600 had a carb on

cool ,

basically i could just use a gte engine and put the carb set up off a 1600 belmont onto that ...;)

2.0 8v will accept the manifold and head from an early big block cav engine, so would then be carb

you can put carbs on any engine, there is a carlton in TV i think that is running triple carbs on a 3lt straight 6

cool lads i new you can out carbs on anything , but its the avalibility of the carbs......

was considering the 2.0 8v with a carb but need to source an early model cavlier sri 130 to get the carb of it.....

anyone got one? just the carb ..... already got the engine :)

the i in sri means injection so you'll have a hard time finding one with a carb on lol.

So your looking at running carb's on your 20seh? The best option would obviously be twin 40/45's.
