3.0 L PRV carb build?

[RamblinDMC]

Has anyone attempted a 3.0L PRV build with a carb setup? It's been on my mind the last few days. I'd love to build something with triple Weber carbs, velocity stacks, forged internals, Spec 1 exhaust, and an aggressive cam. It'd be a great project to start after college. Maybe I'll do a manual swap too.

Honestly you would probably have more money in the webers compared to using the 3.0 manifold with existing rails and MS II.

Agreed. I even tried contacting the Alpine club in the UK about manifolds, and they don't supply them because they're so scarce. TWM Induction used to make modular intake manifold kits for the B28F PRV that could either attach fuel rails or Webber Carbs, and then include stacks, cold air boxes for custom intakes, velocity stacks, the whole shebang. And they had a really extensive catalog of various engines they could provide this for. Again, all modular and interchangeable.

But then Borla bought them out, and it's EFI only. Damn shame too. They have all the parts to cheaply carb (triple-deuce or 6 single ports), or fuel inject our engines (and many, MANY others), but refuse to produce them at all. According to them, carburetors are a dying breed. There's more interest now in converting engines over to EFI than converting, or even maintaining carbs. Sign of the times I'm afraid.

Sign of forward progress I'm afraid.

I really wanted to try to build something old school.
I love this setup that somebody was building for a Renault Alpine.

Oh and Josh, Spec 1 will work on any PRV right?
