Hi,
I am in the midst of planning an engine for my SS Hatch,
It will have a 308, standard stroke, forged pistons, st 3. yella terra heads, 286 crane cam, roller rockers, pacemakers, harrop single plain manifold, electronic dizzy, running on PULP. 4 speed manual (of some description) and a 3.55 LSD nine inch diff.
I have a pair of 45mm DCOE Webers with manifold to suit the 308, but have been offered an 850 Demon Carby from a mate. does anyone have experience with either? which is better and will offer better power and/or economy??
any opinions appreciated, Cheers

go the webbers, a 850 is waaaaay too big for a 308, unless you can turn it to 10000rpm

I was under the impression the race A9X's used IDF webers NOT DCOE's... They're downdrafts not sidedrafts.

L34s ran DCOEs they didn't have the clearance to run the downdraughts, they seemed to perform alright.

I missed the DCOE bit, but they did run them on the L34's

This is an adoptor to fit 2 DCOEs in place of a 4BBL Holley and is similar to what HDT ran at Bathurst in 74.

I also believe that is way too big, some fella i know has a 600 Holley... I think its way too big, how bout yourselves?? They used 48 mm IDF's i thought, well the A9X's did anyway. Looked beautiful, went even better...

you can always choke webers down. Hope you have a good carby bloke in mind to tune them as my experiences with webers ,they are very finicky ,but once set up properly are fantastic
