The intake is part of the head on those. But if you are talking about bolting the integrated head on your engine, you can. The exhaust will be different. ol Curt 01-13-2007, 10:03 PM Blazed, Why not just buy a 2 barrel carb? Or is the issue need of an intake? blazedwelder 01-13-2007, 10:12 PM i only have a single barrel carb/intake right now.. is there any benefit to having the integrated head? ol Curt 01-13-2007, 10:33 PM I would say no advantage at all to go to an integral head. You can get a 1BBl to 2BBl adaptor for $15 and still use your stock intake. Then use a 2bbl Holley Weber and you'll be set! 04Xrider 01-13-2007, 10:37 PM Those heads are also prone to cracking. I would get a adapter or after market intake before I would put one of those heads on. Fred T 01-13-2007, 10:43 PM The integral head was not one of the general's better ideas. In addition to cracking, the air flow is terrible. You can swap heads to use the integral head, but in the long run I don't think you will be happy with it. blazedwelder 01-13-2007, 11:38 PM where can i find a 1 - 2 barrel adapter? ol Curt 01-13-2007, 11:53 PM Here you go. Great buys on the carbs too. If you want to add a little punch to a six, he's the guy to talk to. http://www.stoveboltengineco.com/acartpro/product.asp?productid=91 stsalvage 01-14-2007, 12:37 AM well i got a better one for you offandhouser makes a 4bb intake that will give you better gas milage and a lot more Horse power and there alum and never heard them checking 3-5 diffrent companys use them they even make a tri power with 3 carbs 3 2bb carbs that will get you up to 900 cfm's when you open full throtal stsalvage 01-14-2007, 12:41 AM well i got a better one for you offandhouser makes a 4bb intake that will give you better gas milage and a lot more Horse power and there alum and never heard them checking 3-5 diffrent companys make them They even make a tri power with 3 carbs 3 2bb carbs that will get you up to 900 cfm's when you at full throtal and that is what i'm doing to my 292 with a700R4 i think in 1979 they went to a 292 with a 4bb carb with a th400 trans in the shortbed fleet side and step side ol Curt 01-14-2007, 12:51 AM I had an Offy intake with two single barrels, and one with a 390 cfm Holley. Trust me, neither had the drivability or gas mileage of the progressive Holley Weber 2bbl.236791 236792 Fred T 01-14-2007, 08:55 AM Call up Tom Langdon at www.stoveboltengineco.com . He can give you an education on the subject. He should be able to set you up with everything you need to run the Holley-Weber carb, and at a decent price. Dual Holley-Weber's is a nice setup, but the manifolds aren't cheap. RANDY COX 01-14-2007, 09:52 AM Not to hi-jack thread but thanks ol-curt for posting that set-up with the holley 4-barrel I just recieved my offy 4 barrel intake next thing will be carb,so sounds like the holley is not a good carb for this application.do you have pixs of the holley-weber carb setup.Thanks Randy blazedwelder 01-14-2007, 11:55 AM thank you very much everyone i really appreciate it ol Curt 01-14-2007, 12:17 PM Not to hi-jack thread but thanks ol-curt for posting that set-up with the holley 4-barrel I just recieved my offy 4 barrel intake next thing will be carb,so sounds like the holley is not a good carb for this application.do you have pixs of the holley-weber carb setup.Thanks Randy Whether or not it is a good setup is personal preference. I was looking for reliability an better gas mileage. The 2 bbl gave me that. I should say after i got past the hotrodding stage I decided to build the truck back close to how it was when my grandpa (Curt) bought it. Hence, the motor you see at left with a 1bbl Rochester! RANDY COX 01-14-2007, 01:48 PM Ol-curt what are the specs on your engine I see 4 barrel intake also headers did you do anything internally like bigger cam or is everything stock,how did it run with the intake-carb and headers,was it worth it.Sounds like the two barrel did better. blazedwelder 01-14-2007, 09:22 PM will the 2bbl carb off of the integral head 6cyl work with that adapter? ol Curt 01-14-2007, 09:27 PM I think so. Any 2 bbl should work. |
