I say Weber or Dell 40s...unless you plan on driving at high rpms all the time. Even then, 40s for that size engine. Here comes a bunch of other opinions... _________________ David Richerson

The Dell 40's sound really nice. You could get away with dual weber 40's, but in the end some people run 48 ida's on smaller motors so larger carbs will let it run.
If you plan on bigger motors down the line, do the 44's. _________________ T1 IRS Rebuild Book on Lulu.com

36 Dellorto or 40 IDF would work best. Upgrade to larger 30-32mm venturies.
40 Dels or 44 IDF's are too big. _________________ 2017 Street Comp Champion - Thunder Valley Raceway Park - Noble, OK

You can get them to work fairly close, but you ask for "BEST". _________________ 2017 Street Comp Champion - Thunder Valley Raceway Park - Noble, OK

I always considered anything under 2000cc to be candidates for 40's (Weber's or HPMX), over 2000cc 44's...

With your specs, the way it is set up out of the box(assuming you are buying REAL GENUINE webers) is going to be VERY close. I wouldn't change anything until you try and run it. _________________ Please "LIKE" us on facebook to see what we are working on.
