    Sorry I'm late to this thread. A HS buddy of mine was the person that got me interested in Mitsubishi.
    He had a 1981 Dodge Challenger with the 2.6 4G54 and he was running a twin two barrel Mikuni side draft carburetor set-up.
    I knew daredevils and I ain't got nothin' against them, ........it's just they're all dead.

    This is what I am planning to run. Working out the details and price on a set now. Just trying to figure out the right camj to run for the best of performance and streetability.

    I think you'll find only a few cam choices available. Obviously the best choice would be the cam Mikuni offered or one that John Baker later sold thru his catalog. I have one in my truck and have the cams specs around somewhere if you need them.

    From the Baker catalog,the following are the specs:Lift is.351" and duration is listed as 262 degrees. As far as the install just follow the manual,tdc, remove rocker assy, lube etc...Think it would be wise to replace the rocker assy. A used set might cause improper wear issues on the new cam.

    I've seen badly worn out rocker arms - the shaft through holes were like ovals on mine. Have a friend who bought a 4G52 turbo that had been kitted with a big cam and double valve springs. It ate the rockers and wore the faces off a couple of lobes (I think it hadn't been nitrided properly but the double springs probably didn't help either...)

    This set-up was very tight in the engine bay.
    There were no air filter/cleaners, just short velocity stacks and we had to trim off some of the bell on #4 to clear the brake booster.

    It was probably from a RHD vehicle. The engine really needs a cool air charge from outside of the engine bay to make the most of torque and HP improvements the PPH carbs can produce. This is one of the grievances I have with side draft carbs is the sheer volume of engine bay room they take up (and the weight if you're using Weber DCOE's - and a whole litany of things that make me not a fan of them...)
