I've got a Weber on my 2 liter and it's great. I believe my engine originaly came with fuel injection but the previous owner changed to the Weber, which is a very good idea in my opinion. Lot's more reliable. No heat risers though so it's a little slow to warm up when it's cold (it was a Colorado bus so I'm surprised he chose this set up).. No problems after I get past the first stop sign in my neighborhood, it handles the Texas winter really well...I imagine if it was a lot colder it'd be a hasle. Gives lots of power too, and decent fuel mileage as long as you don't slam it to the floor all the time haha.
