Not much point without a X-Flow head IMHO! The hot exhaust manifold seems to cause lots of running probs with fuel vapourisation!

i say go for it, bet there isn't many corrado's on carbs.

 

The crossflow head would be needed though i'd say, wouldn't like the idea of a set of twin carbs sat on an exhaust manifold.

 

You'd probably see mid 35mpg ish on a sensible run, and mid 25ish being sensible round town.

Will be pricy though. i ran twin webers on an 8v mk1 and it aint cheap, inlet manifold not too bad if you can wait and find a second hand one, but if you want twin webers you need either 40 dcoes or 45's, they will need jetting and the chokes getting right, and too be honest the MPG is going to be poor, twin performance carbs chuck fuel in. I'd guess if you can get some good deals on second hand bits maybe cost you £400-600, you dont want to know what new prices would cost!!! But the the induction noise is so sweet you wont care you are only getting 19mpg!

It is the same principle as twin carbs, just need a different manifold and someone who knows what jetting roughly...
