[DeTomaso] Weber Settings

[Dan Courtney]

Hmmmm, the best of both worlds? Low end torque from the 2bbl heads plus the look, and kick, of Webers?
Welding would be too permanent of a mod to a classic Weber intake, but epoxy could be removed without leaving a trace, in case of a return to 4 bbl heads.
I seem to recall Goran writing about building plugs, or inserts, for the conversion. Even more temporary.
This is quite tempting, as I've never seen a sweeter looking intake for a Pantera than this set of pipes.

  If you want Webers (which it kinda reads like you don't if they've been on the shelf for 2 years) you could just weld or epoxy fill the 4V intake runners to match the 2V heads and save some mula.
