New big carbs are way more expensive than ur little ones.
New 1000 to 1200 cfm carbs are expensive .
The reason I had to change cams was, I had the engine built before I decided to go to f.inj. , not knowing anything about back then. My cam was suited to a1150 or so carb. for my set up.
Wheather u can justify it or not is moot, why do u mess w/ an old car at all if u cant justify spending money on it ?
Most people spend recreational money on something , boat , skiing , fishing , racing , hunting .
You must be one of the sit on ur but and do nothing crowd.
My car is just a toy----------
