Upside down intake, anyone use one for a downdraft
Hello, have a question. Anyone here use a downdraft carburetor on a upside down intake or modify the factory intake to take a downdraft?
Love to see pictures if you have any? |

I once made a base for a 94 carb and welded it to the top of the stock manifold. Then made a plug that went alll the way to the bottom of the inside of the manifold. That bolted in where the up draft carb went. Worked real good.

Looks like I have a future project to do, look better than I expected.
Just picked up a Zenith duel carb intake. Just need to find a second Stromberg 97 now. |

I've got an intake modified for two downdraught Holden type carbs. Tried it once and the exhaust manifold glowed red. Well, actually, almost white hot on a short trip. Might have been a bit lean ... |

Hello Vince, I did a quick search on your site and couldn't find the intake you pictured. What can you tell us about it or do you have a link to any info for us?

Re: Upside down intake, anyone use one for a downdraft
I found this setup last weekend at a swap meet, it was attached to a very nice reinforced late 31 manifold that I was looking for, the seller wanted to sell them together so I bought it, the carb is a Holley GR 931-B ?, 2-1/2 throat, I am not interested in keeping it, PM me if interested in it.
Thanks Brian.
