The SU's are the better carbs to have, the Strombergs are crap...

I'd recommend Lumination to take care of the sparks, alot better than the standard dizzy set up with points...

I take its the gas set up is a ring feed rather than the mutipoint?? I might have some of the pipework to fit the SU intakes....

This is one of my hair brain ideas to make my work horse transit more entertaining to drive and LEZ compliant. The transit mt75 box casting is all in one piece and includes the bell housing and I'm only using it as I have a brand new clutch and a direct fit to the prop shaft.
I have a pair of SU carbs on the correct manifold that may need rejetting for use on a 3.9 but the gas rings are easy to get of for the carbs.
The dizzy I'm going for is the type that has the amplifier on the side same as the 1.6 CVH so just two wires to get a spark. I like things very simple as me and little black boxes don't mix.
