ok this is me asking for some help........

can somone provide some photos and drawings of the duel carb setups on the EA81??? im planning to build one for my 82 but since ive been asked about where to get a real duel carb im thinking about making a few??
the idea is to make them look period but not call them original ea91 duel carbs cause then id be messing with everyones head right. any takers?

Howdy spike, got some pics of my old set up...Elvis did scream.
Got some rev rev video too.
I will dig up the old factory pics I have from the works rally team circa about 1982 or 83.
Shows the real deal.
Give me a day I need to dig through an old laptop.

i saw some photos that steptoe sent me

the whole idea of the duel carb seems stupid, manifold to bring them together.
my idea was just to plonk them ontop of the ports.............
well i might do that to my ea82 cause i can and it seems easyier but if anyone wants ill see about making up a set that almost looks real

where are you gonna fit yer thermostat? or rub some sort of Toyota Camry V6 housing off somewhere else?

Spike you need something like this

two matched webers then all you need do is build a manifold around them

trust me if I was cashed up i would do something like this for my brumby

Check out V6 Camry engines as some about ten years old had what looked like a removable thermostat housing with pressure cap, in alloy that looked quite adaptable to me when I spied one.

toonga ill see what carbies we have lying around but most of them are all side draft i think. hence why if i grab 2 standard carbs im there

steptoe ill look into that one, i think i have a carmy motor here but from memory its a 4 cylinder
