Does anyone have information on swapping the 150 for a 175 on a 73 1500 Spit ?
 
No I have not, Thanks for the tip
 
The dual SU setups have become a bit expensive. You can also convert your single Stromberg to a single SU HS4 by slotting the HS4 mounting flange. That's a fairly easy change. If you want a bit more carb you could move up to a single SU HS6 but you would probably need to enlarge the manifold entrance hole and re-tap the standard manifold flange to accept an HS6.
 
I doing a bit of research and since I enjoy my triple set up on the 250 I see that a co called PRI has an offering that makes a lot of sense. Performance, fuel economy and reliability.
