Best carbs for a Porche 914 1.7L fitted to a VW Type 2 Bay

[robbo51]

Hello,
i am brand new to this forum stuff but I was hoping for some good sound advice?
i have a 1972 VW bay window and when my engine shot its bolt last year I managed to get a 1973 Porche 914 1.7L engine fitted in as a replacement. We are just trying to sort the carburation out now.
i was hoping for a little more humph (49 to a massive 80hp is already a quantum shift!) but I don't want a dragster either. Just something that can get me and my family laden with camping kit up hills with a reasonable fuel consumption thrown in.
What  carbs are best suited for this combination - progressive or twin, Weber of Dellorto ?? Please help?

thanks

Twin dellortos seem to be the popular choice ...try eurocarbs, they'll advise and supply a properly jetted jetted set up for your requirements

Agree Twin downdraft, Weber or Dellorto doesn't matter if they are set up right
In this country it is easier for parts and people who work with Webers (ie they type who know the changes you need from description and provide the part numbers top of their head), so I would just get what is popular in your networks
