    Mmmm Webers...I wish they weren't so expensive. I saw a 4-Weber setup for a Ford 302 that I very badly wanted to put on my '68 Mustang had it not been for the price tag. Lets just say that I could have supercharged it for that kind of money. And I'd love to toss Webers on just about anything else I'd drive too!

    Approximately 79% of statistics are made up.

    Where do I find this setup? I'm curious. I've been looking at Mustangs, I have some money to burn(not enough for what I'd do with an M series TVR, though), and with a quad Weber setup, I think I'd be happy until I find the right TVR.

    One of these, perhaps? - http://www.racetep.com/weber/v8webnew.htm

    I agree completely with the first bit. Especially in conjunction with a quad-cam V8 from a 50's sportscar.

    Would have been cool on the Montreal, but those are cool enough as it is.

    I'm gonna say the purpose is the traffic light penis length measuring.

    Give the guy a break. He made no comment against you, or anyone else on this forum, simply said the car didn't have "enough" power for him to consider it a great car.

    Don't be so rude.

    The Spica fuel injection system is said to be notoriously unreliable. I was thinking of the Pegaso Z-102, though. The Montreal is from 1971 if I'm not mistaken.

    Meh, when I think quad cam V8 I think Montreal, and, yeah, I do believe it's from '71. I just think it would have been even cooler with webers, and, quite possibly, more reliable.
