If you haven't increased the compression ratio, port matched the heads,
installed a more aggressive cam, and an extractor exhaust then you will be
really disappointed in the results, and frankly wasting your money. You
could probably use the Webers without the other mods, but you would have to
use such a small Venturi in each carb to achieve any sort of drivability
that it would be defeating the whole purpose of installing triple Webers.
It would however, look way cool!
Save your money. Truly . . .in the long run you'll be happier with the
Strombergs on a mostly stock engine-
