    not me, but I like your thinking!

    Will you have trouble getting reg'd with the cage, cause it's meant to be a 5 seater, but you're making it a two? it would defiantly be cool, thats for sure..

    I'm in the process. Although i'm doing a full rebuild first so it'll take a little before the first fire up on the dyno.

    But i'll give you as much info as you want when i've got it going. Apparently they are quite good on webers. Techtonics Tuning say it's the way to go for performance.

    How far off are you from doing it?

    Oh, and just get it registered without the cage and put it back in.

    Pretty sure it needs to be engineered as a 2 seater, you are then stuck with a two seater and if you want a backseat in the car again you need to re engineer it.

    carbs are expensive, but I'm still think it'd be cheaper than aftermarket comp...

    plus, twin 40(or 45's if you're adventurous) DCOE's will sound absolutely positvely PHAT!!! Might have custom fab a manifold, unless there are one's which you can buy from the UK? which is entierely possible, but shipping is a killer both time and money...
