Hi

I was going through some parts the other day in the shed and came across a single 40mm idf downdraft carby. I currently restoring a mk1 van with bubble arches and a mild 1600 xflow.

Was just wondering how hard it would be to fabricate a manifold to suit?

Has anyone seen any designs that may be of use??

I feel as if this would be an upgrade over the 32/36, I want the van to be a tad unique, not just the same old 1600 with a 32/36.

If anyone has any ideas, or pro's and cons please give your input.

Cheers

I like your logic about not having just another 32/36. So stuff it, I'm putting in my sidedraft with auto trans. i hope it won't blow the box too quickly! Try yatala headworx for a custom made manifold. They do some great stuff

there not to hard to do if you can weld, get a manifold face plate, plama cut from a manifold gasket, use exhaust tube for runners into a face plate for the weber, there not a quick job, and i would say if you cant do it your self you would be better selling your idf and buying a single sidedraught, cost differance will be bugger all i would say.

cheers luke

gave up on it, so many factors that could have come into play, instead, got some gsxr throttle bodies sitting in my bedroom!!

Look slike they'll be the go!
