I know this sounds odd, and many would say "Why would you want to?", but
I'll ask anyway..

Has anyone ever set up the NA I5 to run on carbs?
I'm thinking of something like triple Webers or such (Or course, one throat
would be unused on the I5...)
Probably no such manifold for such a plan...
If nothing else, The Webers intake noise at full throttle *always* sound
neater then fuel injection..
