The PBIC is correct for an Okrasa. I'm not familiar with the PBJ.
Is this Louis?

yeah it louis!

i got this 36 hp motor i am trying to build with allsort of vintage goodies!!... will give me a solid 1600cc!
sick 36hp!!!

the carbs... 32 pbj are from early porsche preA wich is kinda cool.
they look very similar to pbic. they fit perfectly with okrasa manifold and carb linkage.

i like the rare aspect of the pbj but wich one would give me more performance??

i read that the very first okrasa prototype 1951 were with PBJ.

Hello-

The Okrasa heads were designed for motors in the 1200 - 1300cc range. Given that you'll be going closer to 1600, I'm wondering if you'll need to open up your heads. Likewise, you might want to look at the Zenith 32nbic's. They're supposed to be much nicers carbs than the ones your considering.

Thanks,

Paul
