The 38DGAS is a great carb, should flow enough air for 140-150bhp in theory. Was fitted to the V6 essex engines, and in the reliant scimitar. Should be able to get one with a pinto manifold for under £100

Alternatively you have 40 or 45 DCOEs or DHLAs, but they will cost you a lot of money. £200+ for a decent SH pair.

All depends on the spec of your engine.

I agree with coozer just way cheaper putting bike carbs on..I looked into twin dcoe's and even if you can get a cheap pair of ebay,you still have the cost of linkages manifolds and maybe a rebuild !!!it's just not worth it.
