We are building a 75 conversion with a freshly rebuilt stock 69S 2.0. I have a set of 914-6 webers that were just rebuilt (jewelry), and the fellow that sold the motor has offered up the injection for it.
I really wanted the sound and stock look of carbs, but my friend said that the injection provides close to 40hp for this motor, and sounds better than carbs?? Any thoughts? |

Assuming MFI I would try to go for it. That again assumes that it is in good working condition. If not in good condition then you have to be willing to work and or spend to get it right, which can be a project
The carbs are a more straightforward tune. All of the setup is a pretty well known formula for carbs. The MFI just adds a bit to the “cool” factor. Sound should be the same, maybe slightly better for MFI. I would be very skeptical of the 40hp claim. Well tuned carbs should not be very far behind MFI in the HP department, if at all. Either way I am a big fan of the small bore, narrow body hot rods. |
