multi carbs on 2.3

I'm no huge carb expert, but when I was researching carb options for my MGB that I sold, there was pretty good stuff for Dual Weber carb set-ups. About $1200 to set you back, though, unless you find one some other way for a lot cheaper.
Really, in the end, they are a HUGE pain in the butt to tune and keep running right, and if the engine isn't built to actually put those multi-carb setups to use, why bother?
It's an expensive way to go for looks.
I agree, most factory carbs stink, but those would be just one of many weaknesses on an average 80s smog era engine. I would never replace EFI with that setup for daily driving myself, having owned both carbed and EFI vehicles....

the motor i have is not efi and is built up pretty good. mainly want to drees it up to make it unique. i was told (before i got it) it had a holley 4 barrel on it with nitrous. but that was removed when i got it. now it has a stock carb an intake on it. i just thought it would be an attention getter with a multi carb set-up

Esslinger makes a setup which uses 4 Mikuni snowmobile carbs. Once setup and synchronized they require very little maintenence. I ran them on my race car and loved them, the throttle response and power were awesome! They would be a truly unique setup for a street vehicle and look cool.

Used, no. I let mine go when I sold the engine (it was a 2.0 anyway, takes a different manifold) You could look on Ebay or advertise for them. I don't know what they sell for new these days but I paid 600 bucks for the whole setup about 12 years ago, I'd imagine they're closer to 800 or so now.
