Need some help choosing Dual carbs, Switching over to carbs. Options

[weird_looking_cactus]

I know for sure that Im going to stick dual carbs on my 1975 2.0 But the mechanic said its going to cost $500-$600 for the carbs he hasn't looked yet to see what he can get. I asked if they were weber carbs and he said those are going to cost alot more. Im thinking about getting some carbs online myself and just pay for the labor to get them put on. That will probley be cheaper. But Im not sure of any good places. Im looking for some good carbs that arn't going to be over kill but will make my porsche run really good.
Im asking for help with the carbs and I have made my mind up that Im not sticking with fuel injection so please don't tell me how good fual injection is and how I should not go with carbs. Thanks to all those who help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Does anyone here not drive a 914 with carbs. All I have seen is fuel injection people and really havn't got a real good opinion why I should not switch to carbs. Someone with dual carbs give me your opinion.

i did, a couple of pages ago, remember ?

go here: CB Performance Carburetor page

and check this out:

Part Number 6410 Dual 40 IDF Kit for 914 Porsche $609.95

these people KNOW what they are talking about.
you will also need a fuel pump; you CANNOT use the FI pump, even with any kind of regulator. at best, it'll run like cr&p; at worst, it'll run like cr&p until it bursts into flame and burns to the ground.

with bits and pieces and odds and ends you should be out the door for $750 or less.

obviously, we don't know the situation in St George for local, Porsche-oriented mechanics. in a more 914-oriented part of the world there'd be a qualified shop you could use to get your car together for less than that, but we'll assume that's not an option.

YOU must do the legwork. we can HELP but YOU must do the work...
