Upon doing the head gaskets on the light weight im now wondering do I put the strombergs back on or do I put the 4 barrel holley on its not a 750 double pumper or anything like that its just a 4 barrel with a vacuum secondry anybody run a v8 with a holley on
Although bhp is a bit of a bollix figure twin SUs as fitted as std to many LRs
With plenty of tuning to engine inc jetting of carbs and many a rolling road session SUs are good for roughly 220bhp.
My bro built a 3.5 rover unit rolling roaded at 212 bhp and some silly torque figure.
Again unless you genuinely have a 220+ bhp unit I'd go SUs all day.
I agree, I built a 3.5 for me trialer with piper 270 cam, ported heads and SU HIF's. I think it ended up with BAF needles and it never missed a beat off-road whatever the angle. only other option I would consider is injection, def not a Holley.

wot he sez,
as the holley will look good when you open the bonnet,
in reality, unless your just a tarmac to$$er, your holleys will end up being an eggbox full of problems that you`ll not want when the going gets tuff..
