I have a couple 8896 Holley 1050's laying around, I'm considering putting a Quick Fuel Conversion into or may buy one used / new. Not set in stone yet.

To expensive for the Project its going on @ $1600 bones.

I can convert a carb for about $400 +/- or get a used one for ????

But I do agree the Toilet probably is a better set-up, just not in the budget right now.

This thing is Project Cheapskate X......

Let's do the math.....$400 for the conversion + about $50 for S&H both ways or you could buy 68 gal. of VP110 from Phillip for the same $s scratch
