What tuning/twin carb to use?

Interested in which tuning/twin carb everyone is running & how rare and expensive is a complete setup.
Retro as f**k.

Hi!

I am playing with DelLorto DHLA 40. Originally from 1750/2000cc Alfa from the 80's (2 carbs per engine). The joy is to "size it down" to 1300cc or 650cc per carb. You need 28mm Venturi choks,  the relevant  auxiliary venturi and  jets too.

For the  carb, Panda 30 manifold, rubber spacers, internal parts for the carb, trumpets and K&N I have spent 700+ pounds. Things left to supply - electric pump, tools to tune the carb (including a/f lambda meter),  a couple of books and  a gas station  ;D The bad news  is that I will probably need to buy more jets once the car is on the  road. Custom air box has to be made as well.

I hope it is of help.

Have a great weekend everybody!
