8v more than anything.

Easy to do and something different. Depending on engine spec, bike carbs will help to produce much more power than k-jet.
It's possible to get big power and big noise!

8v more than anything.
Obviously, I'd have to disagree with this as I've done it.
Apart from a couple of days waiting for the 8v manifold to be made, the rest I did in an afternoon! I bet you can't do that with a 20vt conversion!

How's the heat soak on the inlet with the carbs sat above the exhaust manifold?

I supplied Bogg's with an original 8v inlet manifold and they adapted it. That's a couple of years ago now.
From my experience they have a lot of knowledge and expertise, and have provided a great service. Unfortunately, you can find a number of people leaving negative posts on forums, because they are disappointed that their car didn't produce 2000bhp with a Bogg manifold etc. Duh!

Never had any issues, as the exhaust is wrapped.
