Weber 48 DCOE
Hi all,
I have inherited a 2lt Zetec black top, fitted with weber 48 dcoe carbs
I am told it is/was a race engine.
Fitted with those huge carbs, what BHP can I expect.
I am guessing some cam and valving has gone on.
I dont have the time to strip it yet, just after some rough guides/experience
Any clues please?

Mallock Mk11, Fireblade Locost, Tiger Avon, Procomp LA Gold, Mk26 Mallock...........and now a Mk18 Mallock.....LR750, Vandiemen FX02

Having a look at the Dunnell web site
http://www.dunnellengines.com/zetec_carb_optionkits.php
and option 3 it says 212-223bhp*
it also says
*Using 45 DCOE carburettors. Additional power is available with larger chokes, but with a loss of idle quality and low speed torque. Piston pockets
may be required for valve clearance
When I went from carbs to injection I actually lost a bit of mid-range power (few bhp) due to the chokes being bigger on the Atpower throttle bodies
and the flow speed being lower.
This is the list of what option 3 is.

I had the piston pockets
