L28 rat Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Hey guys n gals Im building an L28 /auto powered rat rod I already have the motor and box here, as well as a very nice spare L28 Now it will be an opened bonnet rod Im looking into the factory style twin SUs set up Are these hard to get Worth alot Mostly worth the effort Theres a set of Genuie extractors and an electric dizzy goin in It should wiegh well under a tonne all done Its a budget build so spending a motsa on triple webers or such,just wont happen Thanks in advance for any assistance Quote
. Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Welcome, Sounds like a great project you are undertaking. If you mean the early style twin SUs set up (round tops) they aren't overly rare but they're not common either. Just keep your eyes open. If you mean the flat tops they are as common as grains of sand...ok maybe thats a slight stretch. Neither are overly expensive, again just key your eyes open and your should find a set for under $100?? Make sure it is a matched pair. Yes they work very well and are worth the effort. They are not quite as powerfull as DCOEs and not as fuel efficient as EFI but they are a good allround option. It should wiegh well under a tonne all done you say. Well good luck with that. What do you plan to strip to get the weight down to there? That is quite an optimistic target. Is it to be a race car or road registered? This information would assist us in giving appropriate advice. Quote
zzzzed Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 i dont think he is using an s30 chassis maybe more like a t bucket or rodster? Quote
L28 rat Posted June 21, 2011 Author Posted June 21, 2011 i dont think he is using an s30 chassis maybe more like a t bucket or rodster? Correct Im using a holden rodeo chassis,with a type of vintage cowl body section,with a stumpy tray on the rear Like a roadster pick up if you like Hence where the under a tonne wieght comes in Itll hopefully be a handfull with the stock L28/auto Thats for the input regarding the carbs,ill keep the eyes peeled Quote
. Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I have a set of flat tops with the manifolds. You can have them for $15. I recommend you replace the flat tops with the round tops when you find some but at least this would get you going. Its up to you. Quote
Scoota G Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Here's a set that just went up too. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/datsun-240z-260z-nissan-twin-carby-and-manifold-/120741477484?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c1cc0bc6c Quote
