Since the 2.1L already breathes "relatively" well, I think it would be neat
to set these up on a Vanagon 1.9L or 2.0L AC engine.  My buddy had the
Dellorto version of these carbs on a built 1776cc in his '70 Sinka--it
hauled donkey.  We drove it from Oly down to SF fully loaded with two big
BMW motorcycles, a complete drum kit, two mountain bikes and a bunch of his
personal stuff.  We were flying by the truckers up those steep grades in
the Siskyous.  With the CB radio on, we heard one of of them lament to his
convoy mates "it's pretty darned humiliating when you get passed going
uphill by a VW bus"  We chuckled
