Any info on triple carbs?

[moyest]

Hello!

I'm trying to get a bit more performance out of my 240Z. It's a 1972 model, and I want to go the "old school" route (not turbo, not EFI). You can check out pics of my Z at my website, just to get the picture (pardon the pun):

I was thinking triple weber DCOE40's (which are legal in my country, no problem!). I even found what looks like a good supplier for a full kit with linkages, anti-vibration mounts, and even a cold air box! But the PRICE! Woah mamma!!

Check out the site:

Anybody have suggestions on reliable triple carbs for a decent price?

Cheers!

The price looks high on paper but you have to figure in the fact that they are three brandnew built for this speciific application. I mean look at Ztherpay where if you can a new set of the stock carbs from them it is like $900. Now with the tripple webbers it is another carb as well.

That price is about right for new, you may be able to save $100 by shopping around. Your best bet is to watch ebay, typical price going there is around $700 or so for used. Thing to remember is that in order for the webbers to work well you need to do head, cam, and exhaust work. Otherwise you will just have an expencive engine decoration that gives you poor performance and bad gas mileage....
