Default 1.6 cvh, twin weber or bike carbs???

Hey all, at long last I have a engine for my fiesta. But I know twin webers are pricy so was wondering about bike carbs. Any one know how hard it would be to do that? Or just bite the bullet and go on webers?

Cheers

Carbs are carbs tbh, its whatever you can pick up cheaper. People will say go bike carbs just because, but tbh unless it was bike TB's theres no real gain over a well set up pair of 40's.
Always worth rebuilding whatever you get anyway as they usually have 100yr old gaskets/semi blocked jets etc in them which earn them the reputation of being shitty/poor economy/poor drive etc etc

If you can get someone to make you needles for bike carbs to suit a 1600cvh that actually work i'd go for them. good luck with that though.
