Hope somebody here can help with this unusual question. Some might think it a bit odd and I'm not sure if it can be done. I am in the process of building a hotrod and trying to keep it to a nostalgic look but using commodore running gear. What I'm trying to acheive is dual carbs on a high rise manifold and on a budget something like this.
1. I have been playing around with a v6 manifold and this is where I'm at with dual carbs after cutting the top off the manifold.
2. Or this using dual throttle bodies with the original injectors. There is room on top for a second body.
A couple of questions.
1. Will the first option work with dual carbs. If so what size carbs will I need. I still need to plate the rear entry and fill injector holes if I run with this.
2. If I run with the original injectors can I fit 2 standard throttle bodies with pod filters without using the afm's.
I'm not after performance but the look and hopefully a reasonable fuel consumption. Anyone that konws of someone that has done either of these configurations before please speek up.
This is what I'm starting with a 48 Vauxhall
This is what I am hoping to acheive something like this.
Btw I know this is not a hotrod forum but the car will be half Commodore and thought this the best place to seek this kind of info
Cheers Mick.
