Found a few donor saws. Hope to get to the saws in the next few weeks. Of these 2 saws, one is decomp/120 carbed and one is ND with an 87.
I actually prefer the decomp jugs and the 120 carbed version.
The 120 carb is too small for a ported 262, but it’s fine for a stocker. The plan is to convert a new OEM 199 to 87 specs using the current 120 as the donor carb.
The converted 198/9 carbs actually have the same Venturi as the 87 and are easier to tune. They provide the same WOT power with better low and mid-range than the coveted 87 does. More work though.
