Running a Weber carb is the best bolt on there is, most popular carb being the 32/36 DGEV (DGEV=electric choke, DGAV=hot air choke and DGV=manual choke), there are guys running 32/32s and 38/38s(the numbers in Weber carb designations refer to the diameter of the throtle body bores in MMs. The 32/36 is a progresive 2bbl and such will net better fuel millage than the others)
Pace setter makes headers for the G180 and i have been vary happy with mine
If you use a Weber carb, do you need the intake manifold machined?
On the Pace Setter header, can you use the existing exhaust pipe? What size exhaust pipe would you guys recommend?
You should still be able to find kits for the G Engines. These will provide you with intake adapters, the carb and throtle cable adapter/mounting plates. As far as the exsaust, the pace setter header dumps about 6" behind a crossmember (the one with the tranny mount if i remeber right). So new exsaust will be a must. I had a shop mandrel bend me some 2" pipe. It works great but as has been stated before, seems to realy take the low RPM power down to non exsistant. My engine dosnt realy wake up untill 3K rpm...
Also as far as bottom end parts, im about 90% shure that the Gserise engines all use the same cranks, rods and blocks. Its just bores and heads that are changed. And as far as making these engines handle more rpms, i wouldnt worry about it. I have downright abused my engine when it comes to rpms, theres been a few times where i have hit 8K on my tach. These engines will scream and come back for more. The bottom ends are about the same size as a 350 chevys, i have held up Isuzu rods and mains to 350 rods and mains the Isuzu stuff is only slightly smaller. I would be willing to say you could probly mistake them for eachother. So i wouldnt worry about over revving these guys as long as you take care of your maintnence youll be fine...
