Where abouts are you?

Dave (who started that thread above) works for Fritz Bitz in Wellington, Somerset. He can do an M50/M52 conversion blind folded.

Carbs may complicate the issue, as at a guess it would need a custom manifold between the carbs and head.

that was my first thought.

some people seem to think carbs are the way forward for some reason, presumably because they want it to sound good.

Thanks Gents

I am in York, the reason I am thinking of carbs is it is going in my Rally Car, trying to cut down on weight and get rid of electrical issues,

Carbs not decided fully but I would like to explore that way if I can. I can get the manifold done no issues, just thought i would see if anyone has done it.

Cheers
