Do rover v8 carb setups use hif44's?

howdy petrol chuggers
As the title question goes - are most rover v8 carb arrangements on hif44's or something else? I'm after one to replace the hif38 on my mini and thought it might be a better way to get hold of one!

Of course if anyone has a hif44 in reasonable nick that they will part with then let me know. I'll happily buy or trade any Disco 1 parts (have a 50th anniversary edition tdi that I'm stripping) so let me know...

Cheers

From 1986 in range rover but efi was optional, previous to that Strombergs were used

Hmm, not so common then :/

Any knocking about?!

I think they were used on rover sd1.

Thanks cooltide..

Seems I could also use a hif6, hif7 or a HS6....

Not all HIF series have a choke built in as far as I remember so take care what you buy. My jag has HIF7s and it uses an separate AED (Aux enrichment device) as a choke. You'd be better with HS6 (or the metric HIF44 ) or if you can find them HS8s. The numbers refer to the number of 1/8ths over 1 inch so 6 is 1"6/8ths = 44mm etc HS have a separate bowl/float on the side of the carb were as HIF the bowl was built in underneath. Burlen Fuel Systems is a good website for SU info

My 3.9 is running twin Hif44 with bigger jets and needles. I will be going Megasquirt in the future - got all the kit just no time to sort it out

Thanks Matt - good to know
