m20 carb conversion

[mikebloco]

Has anyone ever ran a downdraft carb like a weber 32/36 on an m20? Just curious.

Yes, downdrafts ..... IDFs (not any DGV's).

[mikebloco]

It think it would be cool to run a DGV 32/36 or 38. Throttle response would be nice. I love IDF's but spending around $1000 on just carbs is a little ridiculous

Gotcha ... there is no manifold that exists for that setup. Would be neat, but if you were having someone fab you up a manifold it'd probably start to even out price wise.

I doubt it would be too difficult to adapt a DGV carb onto a 320/6 single carb manifold.

Forgot about that .... that might just work .... with some work.

What if I made a block off plate were the throttle body goes and then cut a hole directly in the top of the intake were the bmw symbol is. Then drill and tap some holes for 4 studs to come out. Boom! weber right on top.....although I might have to cut a square out of the hood for the air filter.........mini hood scoop lol

Can't find a 320/6 manifold anywhere atm. I guess I'll pick up another m20 intake and see what I can do.

I'm running a 4 barrel carb on my m30 using a euro manifold. They have a similar manifold for m20s too. Google m20 4 barrel manifold.

Yeah I've found some but none that are currently for sale

The trick isn't getting carbs, it's the manifold, and also the tuning. Webers are not plug and play. They are when they're properly set up, but very few individuals know how to actually set them up properly.
