Default To Weber or not to weber, that is the question

I am thinking about putting some bling under the hood. I have always liked the look of the weber carbs. But I am not totally sold on it. Is it worth the extra money and work to get them? Where is the best place to procure? Will I need a whole new edumucation to figure them out? Will they fit under the hood of my CRII?

So many questions....

Mike

Yes, do it. As for bling, go with polished and chromed set-up, just happen to have a small block set-up for sale, complete and ready to install. Have the same setup on my big block, see my pics.

Mike, one of the big myths of webers is that you have to know all these secrets to get them to run correctly. I found my weber installation on my 427really fun , and tuning has also been a pleasure. Once you sit down and learn the theory of them , then tuning is easy (not cheap). They are about half the price of a stack efi setup and 4 times the price of a good Holley and manifold. The performance has been better than expected.

Can't beat Webers for looks and performance, that's for sure.
For about half the cost (or maybe a little more) but still lots of "WOW", you could go this route:

Does anyone know where to get a dual quad or Weber setup for a 351C?

I don't know that I've seen a dual quad for 351C but the Weber set up I have seen. As ENTDOC said. VCP's has the Weber set up but might try eBay too. There was a vendor selling Webers when I was looking.
