need input

I want to run a motorcycle style carb on my 2.3 ford.
what would be a good starting place for carb size?
besides spending a thousand dollars on one already built.

 

The problem will be size even the monster motors are not 2.3.That is why the inline four bikes have multiple carbs.Maybe a Dellortro or Mikuni might give you the look and be big enough.

 

Trust me on this, car parts are for cars, bike parts belong on bikes. There is a reason they are different. Ive been through it, and the price for (the look) is worth it.

 

By "motorcycle style" do you mean side-draft carbs? Weber side-drafts would be my suggestion. As stated above, most actual motorcycle carbs will be too small.

 

maybe dual FI units off a newer H-D??

 

You mean something like this? No, can't do it. It won't work. Everybody knows that.

 

esslinger engineering has a setup that uses mikunis but its a thousand dollars. surely you can do something?
