I bought nice set of SS HE along with a dual tip Triad Muffler a while back. I got them from John Kelly (Ghia Specialties). He had them on a big 4 also. Just wanted some input as to wether these will be sufficient? I would like to retain my heat if possible. The carbs are 48 weber's I believe. Not sure on the jets or anything yet. Bought the engine from Craig at Camp914. The only problem is we don't have any build info on it. I figure to put it in & see how it feels/runs.
This may be a dumb question but it was built off a GC 2.0 engine. Are the spark plugs different when you build a big 4 or do you still use the stock plug & gap? Obviously this is a new arena for me with the big 4. Any advice is much appreciated. I am hoping to put it in early next month. Just getting to prepping/fixing my engine bay while it is empty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Yep, 40s are too small..
You need a pair of 44s for that engine to tune and operate at it's best. |

QUOTE(Jake Raby @ Feb 26 2008, 06:21 AM)  Yep, 40s are too small.. You need a pair of 44s for that engine to tune and operate at it's best. I may not have a set of 44's by install. I'll keep my eyes open & get a set asap. Even if I get it up in my car I doubt I'll do much more than that. Still unsure as to the build or it's overall condition. So I am expecting some issues. I'll update here when I get closer. Thanks again for all the advice. Please don't think I am not taking it to heart. I will probably go tangerine if I get it in & I know the engine is solid. Until I do that it would be premature. I realize the engine is a little misconfigured with the carbs to exhaust. I'll get there with it eventually. I really want to have it complete & ready for summer/ late spring. SO I have time to get everything done & done right. I'm a little behind the curve but your advice helps (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) ALOT! |
