I don't think there is an adaptor for a spread bore four barrel carb to a small base four barrel manifold. That setup looks like the air slams into a wall. I'm sure it would cause turbulence. Sal |

One of the best setups, ever.

But I'm lovin' the thought of I-Talian Testa-Rossa bits on your Ford. Just not lovin' that price tag.

Re: Unusual carburation on Flathead V8’s
The only good thing that came out of this whole thing is that when I was running the numbers on a couple of Quadrajets I had to get the proper kits, I found out one was from a 1979 390 HP 454 Corvette. I sold it on eBay for $400 (matching numbers Corvette guys). It was the best core I had; I was reduced to using a core from a very dirty '75 Oldsmobile; I don't know if it was my deficit in rebuilding it or just a bad core.
I am going to get back into this some day, but I think one of the posters above was right; the next time I dive into this I am going to make an adapter that hast four individual throttle bores instead of the open plenum I originally used. Last edited by tubman; 09-22-2019 at 07:17 PM. |

Re: Unusual carburation on Flathead V8’s
I'm using Edelbrocks new 500 CFM AVS2 4 barrel ,great throttle response and fuel economy.
Did need major tuning with AFR meter thought. Ugly and too modern , but under the hood of ´50 Conv and air cleaner I can live with it .... |

Re: Unusual carburation on Flathead V8’s
I’ll try to figure out how to put pictures up. We have a Flathead we put a blower and Holley fuel injection on. Works great.

Re: Unusual carburation on Flathead V8’s
I would say, probably so.
My guess is was originally a '32 manifold, made to look like a later 2 barrel Probably shorten, too. I think it would have been higher than the hood, to show them off!! |
