Can i put dual Weber 48 IDF carbs on my 1963 1200 beetle?

are there any issues with too much power?

or any problems fitting them?

In a word.
No

You would need at least an engine of over 2 litres, major head/valve work ect
These are for performance motors only.

a bigger sized engine ie a 1600tp or the ultimate 2L t4 motor
