Newby here Hi,
I have been running a Ford Courier ute now for about 4 years with a VS ecotec engine with a carb
Mega jolt ignition, ford edis
, trigger wheel mounted behind the harmonic balancer.
Home cast upper section on a supercharged lower manifold for a 4 barrel but have put on an adaptor plate to run a Holley 2 barrel from 345 International V8 which has mechanical secondaries, runs just as well as a small 4 barrel. When I got the exhaust put on the first thing the bloke who didd it said was it doesn't mang like a commodore. It has no rev limiter set, I slide my toe off the clutch from valve float and it just keeps on going. This is an engine that sat in a paddock for 5 years with no manifolds on it and was not expected to run for long before needing replacing.
Just recently completed a 600k trip to pick up some alpacas towing a horse float and got 12l per 100.
I will try to post some pics
