Bike carbs / TB's and Ford CVH engine?
chrsgrain - 9/12/06 at 01:22 PM

Hi all..

Has anyone put bike carbs or TB's onto a Ford CVH engine? My father is wanting to add some poke to a Scimitar with a CVH in it, and I thought it would be worth looking at.... Are there any resources out there to help, any ideas??

Has decided to flow the head and upgrade camshafts etc, this would be instead of webers...

Thanks

Chris

have heard of people fitting a 1600 head to an 1800 bottom end (I believe the 1800 head is poo) which might be worth looking at if you're doing other things.

Surrey Dave has bike carbs on a 1.8 CVH.

These carbs are 38mm off a Suzuki GSXR750wn circa 1995
