I can confirm that converting my first 6 cylinder race car, with a =

John, have to ask why you'd want to do this.  I'm not Edd China--or even =
Ant Anstead--but from all I've seen and heard just adding greater air =
flow capacity, without other mods--cam, headers, etc.--does more harm =
than good. =20

I think I read somewhere that Geoff Healey thought BJ8s were =
'over-carburetted' (maybe why headers supposedly add a few HP without =
other mods).

If I change from triple HS4 to triple HS6 carbs can I just swap them out =
or do I have to change the linkage and other components?
