4-Stage carb?

[johnnysomersett]

Hey you loverly lot,

 

I'm toying with the idea of upgrading the carb on my MkII Consul to a 4-stage jobby and a decent air intake to hopefully push that little bit more out the meagre straight-4 I'm rolling

 

any suggestions what might be compatible? I know Holleys are good (but pricey) and not sure which would be a subtible candidate.

 

Any help? I wanna get one before I go to the speedshop so theres less ar*eing around

Does the Holley 4-barrel fit then? Try the NSRA forums, there's a swap meet soon at Arena Essex Deuce Coupe mentioned that might be worth a look, Rochester 4-barrel carb might be a more wallet friendly alternative or if your lucky you could just stuff in a Rover V8

A holley 4 barrel would be a waste of effort, especially if you are still running the old 1700,, a 390 cfm is really too big for a 3.5 rover, and that is about as small a 4 barrel that you will find in this country, TBH I would think a 28/36 off a mk1 GT cortina with an adaptor plate would be a better bet,

maybe ill just wait to drop the V8....didnt think it'd be too much of a nightmare to upgrade the carb.
