FPV TRANNY Im the one and only Donating Members 3,557 Member For: 20y Gender: Male Location: In my house Posted 20/06/14 06:01 AM Share Posted 20/06/14 06:01 AM Triples are a *beep* to tune perfect. Done all this with crossflow motors. We stuck with 650DP holley instead with NOS. I dont see what is so hard on doing a carby version? Modding a inlet monifold would be the biggest issue I could see and the VCT but should be doable. Good luck with it and keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you know what you want and just need some advice to get the ball rolling. I will leave my smart as comments aside and wish you the best of luck. By the sounds of it, it doesn't sound easy. Off to google host car to see what it is your attempting to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That noise would make mother teresa moist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friggin awesome and the looks from those LS1 VX clubbys when my old XP falcon would trump them.....Priceless.They would say, Whats the hells in that and I would say, A dirty old six mate... I miss playing with carby sixes but good luck with it.Dont they do Barra industrial versions of these engines? Are they carby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
