Manifold and carbs

Post by Hopey66 »

Hi there

looking to buy a new Large Bore L.C.B manifold off ESM, and i was wandering if it will be able to have any carb on it or will i have to stick with the standard one?

thanks

depends what inlet manifold you go for. LCB exhaust is just the exhaust manifold, so you'll need a separate inlet.

if you get one of these (below) you can fit a 1.5 inch HS4 or HIF38 or and 1.75 inch HS6 or HIF44. Failing that you could fit a twin carb setup off a midget or mini.

A 'large' lcb manifold is not suitable for a standard engine - it will actually lose you power.......... What engine do you have ?

These people are, as far as I am aware, the only ones who make a LCB specifically for the standard capacity engine.
