If you can get the intake manifold as well it's heaps easier

the bviggest problem with any bigger carb is you will never get as good economy as the stock smaller carby. the bigger the carby the worse the economy. as ive found with the weber is because it has two throats you can set it to be efficiant on the primary barrel and have all the grunt only when the secondary opens. BUt this is not the best way to have a weber set up. economy with a weber will depend on driving style. but with the noise they make its hard not to wanna open up the secondary
