I know the single carb setup doesn't work well in the car, but I have a set of manifolds I got somewhere, and I was thinking about setting up an intake setup that would be used only for running the engine before installation in the car. Ebay has some weber carbs cheap, or I have an old 2bbl Autolite. Fire it off on ether, then steady state running at 2000 for 20min. Would that be useful?

Using questionable carbs for engine break in is not smart.
This time of the engine's life is the most critical! If you have a carb that runs rich there is a good possibility that you'll end up with cylinder walls that are washed of their lubricant, since fuel is a solvent, not a lubricant. This can and will result in rings that will never seat. Also, if the carbs have issues that interfere with cam break in they can also be harmful to the engine... |
