burrito213 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 hello all, i was attracted to a sale a while back for somone selling a thing.ah.mah.jig that let you mount a double carburetor for the j series engines. now, i would love to tell you exactly what it is or give you a pic of what it looks like but i can't. if you know what i am talking about then please school me on this. i would like to have one if it is possible. it should, could, would fit for a J15 engine. *update* - yeah, did quick research on google but nothing. but i did see it on cr.list months ago.

nismo dr Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 :blink: are you sure you are qualified to be installing thing.ah.mah.jig's Link to comment
burrito213 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 i wouldnt really consider it "qualified" per se i believe it is caled a side draft. i remember being tipped off to a cr.list add but the guy never emailed me back. he was in oregon i think and probably thought it was a scam being that i was wondering if he wanted to ship to california Link to comment

fisch Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 theres a weber on ebay. it looks something kind of like this i believe. man, i should have done my research before asking the questions. Weber Side Draft Carburetor, 40 DCOE, w/Manifold MG MGB That manifold right there might fit. Your J is a copy of the MGB engine, but I am not sure if the bolt spacing for the manifold is exact. You'd need to confirm it. However I think you will run into bigger issues because I think those carbs will hit your steering column, if not your Brake master cylinder. MG guys have what is called a 'swan' style manifold I believe. Which I recall is used with a single DCOE. Whether that would get it high enough to clear I am not sure. Link to comment
fisch Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Oh wait! I just looked up the one on ebay. That is for a single DCOE. Not 2 carbs, just one. That 'may' clear. It looks like it slants up. Might be enough to clear, but you'd have to risk it not fitting. If there was a MG specialty shop around you I would visit and check some things out! Damn you make me want to bid on that thing for my '59!!! Link to comment
burrito213 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 thanks fisch. i would assume that there is little space in the engine bay... j engines are small but the 320 engine bay is small too thanks again. Link to comment

Indeed. The steering column is what holds up many swaps. That said, this is a single carb. The manifold does tilt up. It might fit. I would ask the seller how long it is to the end of the carb and what the bolt spacing on the manifold where it mounts to the head. Get a visual of the slant from the photos and go look under your hood with a ruler! You might have a winner here. Link to comment
