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..

WOW Waaaayy too many beans last night!!!!

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.
