you have the engine to use them. some people just put them in for looks and the sound of 6 barrels going off does sound wonderiful

if you have a engine that can benefit from more fuel then yes this would be a good choice.

in any event i have bought from this guy and he is OUTSTANDING as a seller. i dont think you could find a better person to deal with on ebay

i havent checked his rating but i doubt you will find one negative

$510 seems steep for used carbs only. Bear in mind you'll have to get a manifold, linkage, air horns, and filters. I spent $600 for a set of used 45mm OER Racing 3x2s last year, and that included manifold, linkage, and air horns. I then spent $280(!) on an ITG filter an backing plate. Just be aware of what the not-included stuff is going to cost you.

As Zme said, there's likely not much benefit unless you've got a serious motor (cam, headwork) for serious track usage. And 40mm is probably too small for 2.8+ liter engines if you really want to get the high-rpm performance these kinds of carbs are made for. I'd do all other engine work before going to triples.

Dan, you need to read his description more carefully...

The Buy It Now price of 169 is for a complete set of three carbs...

In which case that is a hell of a deal anyway you look at it...:classic:

Guess we will have to watch his auctions a little more carefully huh?

I agree, they are only good if you have done mods to the engine, but at that price, you will save enough for a new cam etc.....:devious:

I e-mailed this guy, the bigest venturi he has is 31mm. I think you may want a bit bigger then that? Possible 36mm? If anybody is running these please correct me. I was thinking of them pretty seriously, My 2.4 with a mild cam, fresh springs and a mild port job, might be a sweet set-up. Then I started looking into a cam, fresh lashcaps etc. and your in for $500, then the carbs, intake, linkege, air horns filters, fuel rail I'm smelling 1k already. Think I'll keep it stock for awile! Besides one hot rod is enough, I think!

I bought my Dellortos form this guy as well and I was very pleased with what I got. He cleans them and packs them very well and sends them promptly. The only thing is that they came off a random car so the throttle linkage needed to be changed out.
