OK, forget the big block conversion -
I think I've come to peace with myself regarding the conversion from SB to BB on my Unique. Too much trouble and expense. Plan B is to stroke it (it has a stock bottom end) and hopefully add a Webber quad two-barrel set up, principally for cosmetic appeal at shows. I've monitored a few threads regarding the 48IDAs, mostly on 302s and 347s. I love the existing lope with the hydro cam I have. Does it become a casualty in the Webber retrofit? Is it better to buy the whole assembly of carbs + manifold, linkage etc? Or can any good performance mechanic set them up and tune after install? Where's the best place to purchase the parts? Is it best purchased through an engine builder? I have ported and polished aluminum heads, a medium rise aluminum intake, Edlbrock carb, MSD ignition etc.
My car is strictly a street machine and I push it pretty hard, pretty consistently.
