What carburettors should I choose? What to expect (horse power)?

A set of kads would work good
on your set-up. You could also go with 40idf's

If you have the coin go FI, the best IMHO.

For 1835cc, I will just use dual Kadrons. But I will tell ya, those heads are NOT ready. Looks like the intake has been sunk too deep. The port runners look good, but below the seats need some attention.

The sealing surface also needs flycut clean.

LIke so..

I did this cut with a Criterion Facing/boring head. Only the surface got cut and not the walls, but it is machined all the way to the corner.

Peace.

Thanks for the replays.
I’ll take a look at the intake and the sealing surface…
But you think the setup will work? or should I change something...

The set up should be sweet. Go for it.
