There is a set on Samba. Under used parts/356. Yesterday @ 7:28 am. $595. plus shipping.
I have a pair in excellent condition. I'm real busy this AM, but call me later today 561 301 7885
44 weber install. Will install 44s soon. What do I gain with modest upgrade in top of engine? I believe Terry accomplished this working with a guy in Belmont, ca. Currently have modest 2110. Looking for a bit more torque. Any thoughts?

Bob,
Your engine was built, around the same time as mine, by Steve Serano. When it was torn down I found out the heads were stock instead of 40 X 32 promised and the cam was nearly stock instead of the 110 as advertised. The case had never been cleaned and prepped and the decking was uneven. Those are just a few examples of what was revealed but the list was numerous.
Unlike you, I had nothing but problems with my engine up until the rebuild in 2010.
I suggest you call Ken Jansen 650-622-9785 or ask Bruce at Eyeball for a reccomendation to a local acvw engine builder. Chances are all you heads are new heads.
Remember, the carbs alone will do nothing to improve your performance, especially if you try to push that much more fuel and air through small intakes. If anything, it will reduce your low end torque.
BTW, I stuck with my 40 IDF Webers and increased the venturis for 28 to 34. Go to the Mechanic and Part Shop forum and get the link for Harney's Carburetor Clinc. You'll get the info on setting up your carbs properly for your specific application.
Terry, Thanks for the information. I was told that I had 44s, but with the upgrade in my transmission I discovered they were 48s. Seems to run okay but get between 15 to 17 mpg. changed jets and venturis with Pats(cb performance) guidance. Runs fine, but still poor gas mileage. Pat seemed to think I would get more torque and better mileage with 44s, particularly in lower gears. So with that change I remembered our conversation about changing the heads and thought I'd pick your brain a bit. Will call Ken Jansen. Thanks again, Terry.

I forgot you had 48s, Bob. Waaaay too much carburetor for a 2110. No wonder you are looking formore low-end torque.
You'll definitely be happier with the smaller carbs.
55 idle jets, 145-50 mains and 200 airs would be a good base with the 44s.
All good. Thank You.
