does anyone know if they make one for the luv engines and the manifolds. I know they do for toyota's. I was thinking about doing the side draft carb. My boss says he's seen the luv with them on. so where can I buy one or talk to about a kit. thanks

i may have mine for sale not sure yet... but yes they make them,, you will have to peace it together...
get an intake for a Holden Gemini on eBay from Australia . you can get a single or duel, i have had both... and have it shipped over here ... the last one i bought was $36 for shipping but that was over 2 years ago... then get a carb or cars here if you can find a good deal or if not i have a guy in Italy the has good prices on weber or dellortos… if you look at my sum pics you will se both carb setups… just click on my pic below

thanks for the reply. well I looked on ebay didnt find one. and would the wabber sidedrafts work on that intake. how much did the intake cost you. and how did you like it. the pros and cons of it compare to the regular webb carb upgrade. would it be crazy to try to make my own intake.... :econfused .

pros are sounds way cool and a little more power... if you dont have a built motor dont run them they wont do any better then a 32/36 if you can get them to run, must be built up... cons are more gas used and a bitch to get tuned just right...
