What the heck carburetors are you trying to put on your flathead intake?

The 97, 94, 81 style carburetors that are common and era-appropriate are bolt-on mates for the intakes that would be used on these engines. You can also buy them (well, 97s, anyway) new with zero of the issues you might find with an old carburetor that's in need of a rebuild.

Seems like those aren't really logical reasons for wanting to go to EFI.

I can understand reasons such as: better throttle response and driveability, instant start-up, improved spark and fuel control, variable tuning, etc, though.
