DCOE Nitpick

The ‘Webers’ used on the V8’s when using quad carbs are not DCOEs (Side Draft) but rather IDA or IDFs (Down Draft)

Small nitpick.

Proceed to flame me :smiley:

We are well aware of that flaw :slight_smile: but decided to ignore it for simplicity’s sake.

This has always bothered me when building a V8 with downdraft carbs, too. Even in the sidedraft configuration, it’s slightly annoying when I’m building a recreation of something equipped with Solex or Mikuni carburetors.

It’s also a possible confusion issue for new players, since unlike OHV, VVT, VVL, etc. the alphabet-soup doesn’t even stand for anything, it’s just a model code. Just from the approachability standpoint, I would suggest Automation use something like “High Flow 2 Barrel,” “Performance 2 Barrel,” or if you really want the Weber reference in there, “DC-series 2 Barrel.” (Most carbureted Ferrari engines, including the 308’s V8, used DC(N)F downdraft Webers from the factory.)

Good point, a namechange might be the best way to go about it! Cheers!
