Want to buy weber 38 or 40 downdraft

[mschor]

Hey, I'm looking to buy a downdraft carb for my 3TC. Anybody have weber 38 or 40's? I'm looking for downdrafts because this is my daily driver and I hear sidedrafts require frequent tuning. Is this accurate? Used parts are better to keep cost down. I need adapter plates, and whatever else for install.

I'm going to be selling my Weber 32/36 DGEV in Redline Kit K740 which was made for the 2TC engine.. although the adapter plate fits right onto my 4A-F intake manifold..

Anyway I paid 380 for the kit.. If you are interested in it I'll sell it to you for 300 I've only had it for a month now and driven my car with it probablyt a dozen times.. no racing or anything.. so it's still clean and works perfectly.

did that carb make a noticable power increase for your 3f-e?

who the hell has a 3f-e?
I have a 4A-F..

And I'm not sure.. as I did cams as well... that and I haven't fine tuned it yet with an air/fuel meter because I'm still building my LED air/fuel meter.. but I'll let you know tomorrow when I'm done with it and hopefully get my ride out in the snow tomorrow or saturday for some ffffuuunnn

if you're just gonna use the car as a daily driver all year long, go with the downdrafts. but if you're gonna start modding the motor later on (ie. high duration cams, stroke it to 2.0L) i would go with the sidedrafts. 40-48's would be good for a high output 3TC. but then again, i also know that a lot guys in florida are running hardcore downdraft set-ups for drag on their 3TC. that's my two cents. goodluck!
