You ought to make more than 120 HP, I run a similar engine (40 x35.5 slightly ported) and get confirmed 118 HP @ 5800 rpm out of it with a set of Dellorto DRLA 40 (34mm Venturies) and a small 1 ½” Thunderbird Single Quiet Pack. This engine will be replaced by a Turbo Engine this season  and I will recycle my motor in my 181  . I will swap the carb setup for a set of 45 DRLA’s with 36 or 38 mm venturies and an 1 5/8” A1 sidewinder. I am curious to see if I gain a couple horses. Oh by the way I run a WebCam 110/163 and I am loving it. A lot of low end torque and very snappy above 4500 rpm. It is great to drive. Happy new year to you all! Cheers Dom

will be one fierce motor- thats for sure. drove around 1914 with fk87 and it was basically unbeatable. i agree keep ports reasonable and cam it up and when you drop the hammer- strong signal to carbs and away you go. should be a rush. don't stuff big venturies in it or you'll spoil the tune jim is going for. 130 cam is perfect for hot 1776-1914 like what your doing. evrybody thinks 110 cam is way to fly- well maybe in a camper bus

dom, your engine sounds like a nice driver and i'm sure it's gonna get some extra power from that upgrade. and syncro de mayo, and FK87 would be kind of wild, but i get your point. i'm hoping it will be an awesome cam  i finally got to see my IDAs today and here they are:  now they're aren't 100% on one carb there is nothing to connect the linkage to and both are missing that cover to go in between the stacks.   well, i'll just go back and babysit them for a while. drop me a note and i'll be back after a drink with my 2 new italian friends

I just grabbed of my Italian buddies to inspect the writings on him: Carburatore Weber Bologna Italy 48 IDA 4 K9 Then I grabbed a few screwdrivers and unscrewed some parts to check for some numbers - now, I don't have an explosion drawing at hand so I don't quite know what is what. But I unscrewed the few things under that cap that I do not have; F7 Emulsion Tubes with something 155 in them. Am I right that the emulsion tubes are in between the main jet extensions and the main jets? So, that means I've got 155 mains. Then the ones in the corner (still under the cap) read 120 and F10/70. Edit: 120 Idle Jet Holders and 70 Idle jets? Mmh, that would be a bit too large for me. Funnily I'm using the CB website for reference cos they have pictures that go with the parts. So, that's my only reference  Anyway, thought I'd give an update

I'm looking for manifolds for my IDAs.
And I'm in doubt between "empi racing manifolds" and CB big beefs. Empi are a few lbs heavier, and big beefs are cheaper. I can also buy bugpacks at that shop, but they definitely look too thin for porting.
Can anyone recommend either of the 2?
Oh, and I might end up not going with a 30hp fanshroud, so they have to clear...

or perhaps short manifolds, but that might not be a good idea seeing to it that i already have a hot cam. i might need tall manifolds.
but does a tayco/bugpack linkage work with short manifolds too?

Hey, I really like your car. I have made a 1915cc for my car last summer and I just ordered Italian 48 IDA's for it. I have an Eagle W 120 cam and SCAT Mini D-ports. I hope it 'll all run very smootly. To run the engine in I put my old 40 mm Dell'Orto's on top and with those carbs, the car runs great, but hey, I love the sound of straight cut timing gears, 48 IDA's and a Dynomax muffler, so I had to give it a try. Good luck with your engine...
Regards,
Philip Flatline-Lowriders Belgium

I will also use short manifolds because I hate to cut the velocity stacks and I want to keep my decklid closed...

I'm just looking at distributors, even though I now have an 009. I quite fancy either an 010 or 019, can anyone tell me which suits my specs better? Perhaps it helps to mention that this engine will rev to 7,000rpm.  Well, a magneto would be coolest I guess. But I don't know much about them...  010 or 019  I figured I could even contribute more by saying that after a search I did find 019 is for the smaller engines, 010 for medium to large cc. And 010 helps more in the low rpm due to its curve. Is it true? So, should I then opt for an 010 because of my wild-ish cam choice?

From what Ive read the 019 has a similar advance curve to that of the 009... the 010 comes on much sooner, making low rpm driving more funn

009 with petronix(electonic ignition) is the VERY VERY good - I have not touched mine since I fitted it about 3 years ago - it has NEVER let me down

Always good to have some books ! I could really recommend "how to hot rod VW engines" from Bill Fischer. BUY it !!! Such a nice and informative book. There were many infos,tricks and thoughts included which were new to me...And as every good book you really get all the infos the second time you read it... Go with a 010 or a 019 with one spring much better as the "new" 009. And don`t forget the BIG advantage of the LOOK with a 010/019  But be carefull if you go with an 019 and one spring when you set the ignition. As you see the 019 begins to advance before 1000 U/min. So a static ignition set would be best. And even check the totall advance when engine is running on higher rpm`s allways a point that is often missed. Greetz

i had that advice from John Rayburn as well. but it was for my 1641. don't know how it relates to a 1914 engine, but it worked really really well. much better then the 009 with petronix or compufire. http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?topic=2484.0that was the topic if it helps.
