Intake manifold question...
If I buy a 4brl carb will I need to buy a 4brl intake manifold or just change out the carb spacer?

looks mean, workin' on the fast

to my knowlege, they dont make a 4bbl carb to 2bbl manifold adapter... if they do it doesn't seem like it would be worth it... you can pick up a used air gap for fairly cheap, just do both..

Waste of time and money to do but they do sell an adapter for it.
Just go with a 4 bbl intake hell a stock cast 289 4bbl intake can be found for next to noyhiong and with yur car it would be a good way to get it done on the cheap and dirty.

I sold a 289 4 bbl factory intake for 30.00
a few months ago. Dont waste time with the adapter,just find a 4bbl intake and do it right.

I had somebody ask me this at work a few weeks back. Sure it's possible, but if you cheap out on this, you won't really get the benefit of a 4bbl. IIRC for what you're going for, see if you can eBay a Performer RPM intake, I imagine they'd be reasonably cheap. I have a Performer 289 and it's one hell of a torquemaker but runs out of steam much past 4k (though my cam probably has a lot to do with that too).

Agreed, as I said, I did it but then went with the edelbrock rpm performer intake. HUGE difference.
