Ive tracked down a 2.1dj, its not in a van an some parts of the injection system have been taken so im looking at carb conversion options.

I know i could swap my 1.9dg carb an would need t3 manifolds for twin carbs (an some port matching) but that aside what would be good options to run a 2.1 on, i will probably port the heads an maybe switch rockers an cams but wont be a full race build an would like a mpg of around 20mpg or more if driven sensibly, (is that possible?)

P.s any guides on prices second hand?

Hope you can help.

we are running two 2.1 engines on 1.9 carbs - took manifold off old engine - no probs

PM if you want pictures

i have a complete inj sys here, email me or phone me

Cheers emma, take it you mean your running a standard single carb and not 'carbs'?

Mocki, thanks but im really thinking carbs would just be a lot less hassel, had a injected fastback before, cost me a fortune in fault finding and then ended up having to convert it to carbs anzway!
I will bear it in mind though.

So has nobody got a 2.1 on twin carbs then or even know anyone who has done it, if not why?

Please
