carb on a 4.0 ? power potential?

Anyone running a carbed 4.0? Don't know much about this motor but from poking around a little on this page seems to have some decent potential. With its small size and weight might be interesting to see what kind of builds it would support. Just curious, Matt.

Does someone make a carbed intake for the 4.0? I've had a few over the years, well, I have one now, but it's a cammer. I've never seen or heard of a 4.0 with a carb.

My gut reaction that there was no market was wrong. Check here for a lot of info, including the 4bbl manifold. A supercharger with the EFI might be a way to more power than you'll ever get with a 4bbl.
