Why are you looking at carbs for your c20xe as opposed to more modern throttle bodies?

You need a low pressure carb fuel pump, inlet manifold for carbs, carbs, throttle linkage, fuel pressure regulator and the fuel pipe to connect the two carbs, you might need a different alternator bracket as well. If you buy second hand I would make sure you have the fuel pipe and linkage with them, just less hassle.

Difference between £500 and £2000.
Carbs generally give better peak power.
Carbs also use a LOT more fuel.
Easy to setup carbs at home, not so easy to setup TB without laptop, software (more money etc..).

And also probably need to run a 1600 Cavalier distributor and maybe even a different management system to control the spark etc.
