Was wondering about a Carb for a gas engine.

OK, Just wondering, I have a " insert a gas engine here " and I don't have the money for pane or fuel injection. I understand the price of these carbs you can have propane but thought I'd ask !

I seen a Carb in Jegs and Summint that is designed to work in extream angles. There is a Lowrider series and a off road series, I know how those lowriders move and hop and stuff. But would they work for the angles we see in our sport ?

Do many people run Carbs in crawling ? popcornn

Donuts1 (Jonas) is the only person I know that could make a carb run at any angle on a SBC.

I jacked with mine for ever before I finally caught the stupid thing on fire at Hot Springs one trip and I was done with it.

Go propane and be done with it.

IMO, if you are going to wheel extreme angles I would stay away from a carb. No matter what angle they are suppose to run at, they all seem to have issues. TBI can be had for cheap, about as close to FI you can get if you want to stay gasser.

If I was to start from scratch or a carb, I'd go pane.

It is a diesel, but I wanted to know if and what carbs would work in this sport. Being new to the game I try to gather information to help out others that may not know.

I feel like the more I can gather the better I can help myself and others. :toast:

I am running a Holley Truck Avenger on a 408CI SBC in my YJ. I goes up almost everything I tackle. If the YJ doesn't go up, it isn't the carbs fault. I plan to eventually by a mall-crawler TJ. Then I will make the YJ a full time crawler. When I do that, I will probably go to propane.
