WTB: Dual 48 webers

LMK if anyone has a line on any, otherwise I'll be resorting to buying a new set...

Thanks!

Talking about going big. Is this for the big Hugo motor? Ever thing of fuel injection??

Yes, Hugo's new motor. Shooting for beating the muscle cars.... Existing motor will go in the bus, so we've revamped the whole plan since I'm not using any existing stuff. You can learn more at the Demo Day at Vallero's.

Its been my understanding 48's are not very streetable but you Ray on your side. He may know some trick.

It will be *very* streetable. You'll be surprised.

BTW: I am looking for IDA's *or* IDF's. Ray has a trick for making the IDA's work on the street. As I said, he can explain at Demo Day.

NEW OLD STOCK OR THE CLEANIST SET I'VE EVER SEEN WEBER 48 IDA CARBS see for yourself. This set came from a older man who was going to use them for a hi=per porsche 912 motor, but passed before ever getting to that project this set was purchase 20 to 30 years ago. they are unbelieveably clean. $2000 or very best offer for this set of hard to find italian webers. I can be reached at 8o5-4oo-93o9 thank you for your serious interest Kevin

WOW!!!! I CAN BUY 4 OR MORE CARS FOR THAT PRICE!!!

yes you can but they are not 48 IDA'S

And they would not be made in Italia...

I would buy those if I had 2 grand lying around.

I picked up some Webers for May but they are made en Espana.

A set of Italian Webers would be cool.

Thank you for looking out for me! I sent the ad to Ray for his input on what to offer and he said to order new ones from CB for half the price.

I thought the spanish ones are knockoffs and not "real" webers? Anyways, Ray said to get these and he assures me that they are identical to old school Italian Webers.

And they are "only" $1276 for the entire kit (incl manifolds).

Such a bargain!

Most people want more than stuff is worth. Beauty is in the hand of the holder.

He actually went down in price, but then I noticed that his is just the carbs and the filters and the CB's are the entire kit. So, I am not able to pay more than the new kit and he can't go that low.

Sounds like you'll be in for a new kit then.

No hay problema.

Sólo tienes que aprender a hablar español en vez de italiano.

New Old Stock WEBER 48 IDA carburators MADE IN ITALY .THIS SET OF CARBS ARE PERFECT AND DONT LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE EVER HAD ANY GAS IN THEM, THEY WERE SET ASIDE FOR A ELDERLY MANS HIGH PERFORMANCE PORSCHE 912 BUILD, BUT THE MAN DIED HE WAS 82 WHEN HE PASSED. THEY ALSO COME WITH 912 AIR FILTERS MOUNTED ON THEM. AS WE ALL KNOW THESE CARBS MADE IN ITALY [the really good ones] are extremely hard to come by. SO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY. $1500 OR VERY BEST OFFER. I can be reached at 8o5-4oo-93o9 Kevin thank you for your serious interest.


I saw these and think it is a different guy

Same one. He's still not as low as getting the new ones from CB with the complete kit. Thanks though.

Are the new ones not as good?

Italian vs. Spain

Ray says that the Italian are no better, other than just being old school and cool to have. The risk is that the older ones, if used, are an unknown with issues. BETTER to start with brand new, or completely new old ones (but they cost more, with no real advantage).

I just post what I find

That is what I wanted to know. Thanks for asking Ray.
