Go for 45 or 50 weber carbs it would be my choice!!

On a 1600 i wouldnt go for either of those a set of 40's will do the job just fine. But tbh if i was you i'd save the hassle of carbs, get some more cash and go management and throttle bodies. With it being a rally car it will be more reliable and you'll be able to map it spot on giving you much better driveability.

yer the 40 is the way i was thinking, or the throttle bodies. i did think bout using a set of bike carbs just dont know which would be best for the money spent. i dont really want to throw thousands at this point as only just starting up, would be a little wasteful at the moment. cheers guys has given me more to think about i think will nee to see how much i got realisticly to spend on this part of the project.
