are motorbike carbies a proven path for performance? they look awesome, but yeah id look into it before you start making up manifolds and stuff

they've been used on 4AGE's with varied success
i'd get ones off a 1000cc engine i reckon
or you could buy new ones from user on here "Green510"
he's a bit of a gun with finding cool sh*t on the internet
pity he's selling out of datsuns

yeah they make the same if not more power and need half the yearly tuning of a pair of dell's

Make sure they are forged pistons and conrods. that way, they'll never break.

I didn't know a12's were OHC???

_________________

they aren't OHC, whats your point?

Yeah they're push rod engines, but don't tell anyone lol

Nah they're still pretty good engines, always heard good things about them except power, but why not just drop in an L series in?

they're not expensive and are easier to find parts for and has been done many times....
