fisch Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Man all this talk lately on VG makes me really want one in the '59! They just sound so badass!! And with one cylinder less in length. I wonder if it would fit better? Though I bet it would hit the steering column. Quote Link to comment

Though I bet it would hit the steering column. this would be a pimp swap. specially if you made it carbed. here's an idea i had tossed around. intead of using a holley two barrel like everybody does, why not make an adapter to mount a weber side draft carburetor. the adapter would be really easy to make and cheap.

datrod Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 a single weber sidedraft would not supply the needs of a 3ltr v6 How bout three of them? That would look badass. It might not run very well but would be cool. I would like to see a blower on one.:eek: Quote Link to comment
b210in Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 a single weber sidedraft would not supply the needs of a 3ltr v6 according to weber, a single 50 dcoe weber sidedraft is more than engough to feed a 3 litter v6. who cares. if you need more carbs, you can have the adapter made to fit two 2 barrel carbs.

Jesse C. Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 A 3 liter only needs about 375CFM, so a 38/38 Weber downdraft would work. A Japanese company made an intake to suport three downdraft carbs but they are scarcer than hens teeth! I thought about adapting a dual sidedraft adapter for four barrle intakes but it would be too much stuff to mess with when only one carb can do it. I am going to run the Holley 500 two bbl and jet it down to the appropriate size or close enough, unless I find a Weber 38/38 to play with. Quote Link to comment

yellowdatsun Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 NICE! Finally, another box flared VG car. Would be the twin of mine, if I hadn't changed it from yellow to gray. I see you have adjustable cam wheels now too, nice! 180 to the wheels is not hard with just a little help. I don't know what he's done, but just some port work and headers could probably get you there. Cams can add even more. On the VG34E I'm building we're shooting for ~250, hopefully more. Plus a mountain of torque. 1 Quote Link to comment
kmc63 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 agreed. 180 is reaching Depends on internals,perhaps he said it was stock,if he did I missed it 200hp easy with only slight build. Quote Link to comment
