Shipped fully assembled & ready to run.
The photos on this site show some of the units built here. I've tried to include at least one image for each type of unit, and as many photos as possible of the various options. They by no means represent everything available.
Each assembly reflects a painstaking approach to detail. Every carburetor has been completely disassembled, prepared, and internally tailored to order. Some of the customized systems take 2-3 days to build. No shortcuts are ever taken.
Every one is shipped 100% complete and ready to start, with nothing else to buy. Each unit includes a set of stainless intake bolts, an intake gasket set, a Synchrometer, low-pressure fuel regulator with the required fittings, a complete braided s.s. aircraft-quality fuel harness, a liquid-filled stainless pressure gauge, and a nicely-photographed, simple-to-follow instruction manual that guides you through the entire installation and setup procedure. I wrote this manual specifically for anyone who has never done this before, so if you can read English and follow basic instructions, you will find it very simple.
Here are two videos that show you our Weber-carburetion systems running. These videos were unsolicited and posted by these engine shops after installing our induction units. The first one is a Weber carbureted engine startup on a test stand by Power Hungry Performance. This video showcases the throttle response of Weber carburetion better than any I've ever seen.

This second video was posted by Ken Ellison at Ellison's Machine in Glen Burnie, MD featuring a 525hp 289 Cobra engine being run on the stand.

Ordering
Please call to place your order by telephone. A 50% deposit on the major credit card of your choice will get it started. The balance will be automatically charged to the same credit card (unless you specify otherwise) when the unit is assembled.

The 351C comes in a 4x48IDA version as well, and our newest 351C manifold was just introduced in 2021. This is a thoroughly updated manifold with a vacuum plenum for power accessories and EFI sensors and can be ordered in either a 2-barrel or 4-barrel port configuration. This photo shows the front view of a Group IV competition Pantera assembly with our pressure regulator and cable bracket mounted at the front.

Valve cover clearance with crossrams:
You will not be able to run tall valve covers with these units, but the TransDapt 5/16"-thick valve cover gaskets will usually allow you to run roller rockers with standard valve covers. Click on the image at right for a detailed view.
Shown here, a stock 327 Corvette engine shows a clearance under the carburetors of 9/16". Another 1/4" can be gained with special fuel bowl bottom plates if more space is required for slightly taller valve covers.
Supplying vacuum for transmission, air conditioning, power brakes, or PCV
Some cars require vacuum for accessories or to connect a PCV hose.
The 8-port vacuum kits are generally hidden on all the downdraft units, and all you'll see are fittings at the rear of the manifold as shown here. Vacuum is supplied from all eight ports.
The one at left has two 3/8" nipples, one for PCV, and the other for power brakes.
If you reqwuire vacuum, please be sure to order this option (cost is $175) when you place your order. It is much more difficult to install once the unit is assembled. In some cases, it CANNOT be installed later, because not every manifold is designed for hidden vacuum. The right manifold must be ordered in the beginning.
