A guy at work has a 1.75 in SU he doesn't need.

He knows nothing about it and I don't know much from looking at it either.
Does anyone know what type they ran and if it could be of use to me on a mini?

Thanks.

British technology on a and Aussie (european) muscle car...

Hmmm. Dunno bout that one.

Im only assuming S.U.'s were a british idea?

That right. Triple SU's.

If you change the needle over you should be okay. If you got a pic, we might be able to tell you HIF44 or whatever

Inlet manifolds might be different also, so just get a new one.

EDIT: They were on torana's also I think

I think the Viva based Towana had an SU?

Thats cause the Torana is a European car as with all Holdens cars.

The HB Torana was taken from the Vauxhall Viva.

Triple SU's were a popular mod to 202 Torana's back then, or so I'm told. Well SU's look better anyways, haha.

Triple SU's are a popular set-up for Holden Powered sixes, I've run 1 3/4SU's on a 202 in the past.

The Carbs are exactly the same carbs, just different needles will be needed.

The factory triple carb set-up was indeed CD Strombergs but the aftermarket stuff is also SU's and Webers.

They also ran Triple Split Choke Webers on the Bathurst race cars too.

Depending on the Carby/manifold that was used, it would be worth your while to check the float chamber angle. Won't necessarily be the same as a Mini. If not you can buy the little plate that sets this level.

No Holden came from the factory with an SU.
Holden had a tie in with Stromberg so that was all they could run.

Lots of Holdens were hotted up with twin or tripple SUs.

Thanks for the responses sofar guys.
Here's a couple of dodgy snapshots of it:

Thats definately a CD stromberg carb.

Your best bet would be to buy it, sell it on ebay and then buy a real SU carb. You'll probably have enough cash left over for a sixpack too

Yep thats a stromberg - the second photo shows it clearly.
