Well Jason, they are not Weber carbs...they're Mikuni/Solex 40PHH Type T on the Toyota motors, and 44PHH Type S (standard Nissan OEM replacemnt carbs) on my OS motor. They are resin copies of my own master. I'll eventually get around to making Weber DCOE sidedrafts, and IDF downdrafts as I have a few projects planned that will require those carbies. All of the engines I post are scratchbuilt by me.

Please overlook the top set of carbs...they were an earlier attempt at making them. I wanted to show the evolution of my fabrication work. Unfortunately, Uncle Sam decided to take away my summer vaction, and temporarily relocate me from tropical Okinawa Japan, to not so tropical Anchorage Alaska :lol: I should be back sometime next month if you are interested.

Also, I thought I'd post up a few of my in-progress 4 bangers:

Nissan CA18DET

I will definitely be interested in purchasing a few sets when you back to making these!

I knew that building looked familiar, Antonio! I live in Dayton and do some running down to Cinci for work. I have been to the Terminal Museum/building a few times!

Where do you live in Florida now? I grew up and lived in the Kissimmee/St.Cloud area and used to run the streets of Orlando a LOT when I was growing up.

I was born in Dayton and lived there until around 1994 I believe. I live in Naples now but we go to Kissimmee/Orlando regularly for weekend family time!

No engine shots, but I do recall this being a four banger....

Yes, that's the rare (and much maligned) old Monogram kit, and no, I don't have any regrets about actually building it. :lol:

I've got a Chevy II four banger I'm working on at the moment (made from a cut-down Trumpeter Nova six) when that one is done, you'll see it here first. B)

Whew! Though for a second this was some kind of "dirty" thread like the batman one, but it relates to the unique and consistant four cylinder motor. So t'ings are a-OK here!!

I have some 4 bangers, but most of them were from my early years and have suffered their fate of being scrapped! Though I may have some surviveing ones around somewere to show off.
