Volvo B23 carbie option

Hi, I'm wondering if any has wandered down the path of installing twin SU on an upright b23 engine, (in an earlier 1 series car) I'm specifically looking for manifold ideas, I know the pentas used solex downdraft. Just looking at going down the path of non electronic fueling.

Cheers

I know you can get a twin Weber manifold. A twin SU, V Performance has them, but I'm not sure if they're still active. Worth sending an email at least 🤷‍♂️ http://www.v-performance.com/products/air_fuel.html#intake_manifolds

Actually, it looks like for B23 they also only do Weber manifolds. Weber conversion? 🙂

jamesinc thanks I'll take a look, the engine is mounted straight like the B20 so that adds complications for the standard manifolds.

jamesinc BEWARE! V (non) Performance is the infamous John Parker.

I have heard the rumors

You could get one off Aliexpress but assume you will be having to surface the flanges flat.
