<VV> turbo carbs - short & pricy :)

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Well, yeah, and this is BY FAR the worst case scenario. Ebay can get you a used DCOE for a LOT less than that, I've seen these Weber adapters come up from time to time, and air cleaners for DCOEs are common as grass. 

And there are other choices, a 2bbl downdraft adapter, and a Weber 40DCNF would work, etc. 



Given that Corvair owners are cheapskates (not an insult, a badge of honor!) there ARE ways to do this less expensively. A LOT less expensively.

  Total $976.85 -- now add a few bucks for shipping and you'll quickly find that 



  fixing and/or eliminating the problems with the YH? is not always a 

  4 digit (1000 dollar) financial experiment :)



  I've left out the cost of the knock eliminator and/or water injection on 

purpose. 



  In all of this, I "grant" that these parts could be found cheaper and hence my 

"Math" may 

  have some flaws ;-)
