[ROVERNET - UK] Re: Help! Intervention needed! OT

[Magnet]

The 2000TC used 2 inch SUs, while the 3500 used 1-3/4 inch 
carbs with angled float chambers.  Not a lot of point in putting 2 in 
carbs on the stock 3500 manifold, even if you could adapt the float 
bowls and throttle linkage, as I gather the stock manifold is the 
limiting factor on inlet breathing on the 3500 engine.

Cheers,

Bill Daddis
