Weber Carbs

[pats16v at columbus.rr.com (Erik)]

I din't find anyhting like thatbut I went ahead and bought the parts to
convert the 8V anyway.  I got the Intake and linkage on Vortex for 160.00
and a set of DCOE 45 carbs off ebay for 550.00.  I bought a ported 1.6 head
that is set up for carbs with a Delta Re-Grind 308 cam.  That was 250.00.  I
figure I can keep the 83 GTI Ignition for now but I am going to swap over to
a Mallory Unilite and Hyfire box, Promaster Coil Later when I can dump a
High Comp Bottom end in.  I figure something in the range of 11 or 12-1
ought to do it.  The 78 has an RD in there now but parts are cheap enough
for 8V's it is making too easy to play with that and save the 16V for a
later date.  I also got the 4K trans from Peter (thanks Peter)  and I'll put
that in this winter,  at 1750 lbs, this car should scoot right along!   BTW
ther is a guy that is selling a Dellorto setup complete for 350.00  obo
shipped.  Here's the link:

can you?

Oh the power of cheese.

  Dunno if you figured this out yet but here goes anyway, I was looking into
going to carbs and found some pretty helpfull guy's on the vw vortex tech
section. I think there may even be a forum dedicated to the subject.

    Has any one seen how to properly determine what size carbs are needed,
and
    what their CFM rating is?
