I need a cheap intake and carb setup for my Burban. Im open to ideas. Its just a driver/tow. Im putting a 425 in it and i dont have an intake or carb that would work good for this. All i have around is go fast stuff.


I need a Dual plane intake. I dont care if its dirty, been repaired, or painted. Just in working order and cheap.


I want to run a 750 edelbrock, but i might run a Qjet if it is really nice and works great. Maybe a 650 Holley. I just need something that works and cheap.



Let me know what you got and how much. Thanks

 

Still looking

 

Need something fast. I have a $300 budget so it doesnt have to be that cheap. Any good working 650-750 carb, and i need a dual plane intake.


I have a nice BB Holley Street Dominator i can trade. Its in the for sale section.

 

I got a '65 2BBL 425 Intake if you are desperate. I am also looking for a decent priced 4BBL intake as well for my 425. Good Luck.

 

LOL thanks. I have a 2bl setup on it now. This is going in my suburban and im shooting for Torque and MPG the 2bl just isnt gonna cut it.

 

I have a HSD in the for sale section i just posted.

 

The HSD is designed for higher RPM usage, correct? Less emphasis on torque... Taking into account rear end and cam selection of course.

 

Yeah higher then a dual plane. Its similar to a Torker. Some say its better then the Torker, some dont. It ran great on my 468, better then the performer. I didnt feel any loss in torque. Sh*t i still couldnt hook! The only reason im selling it is because i just got this setup.

 

If you could find one, I'd just use a stock 4bbl intake, and trim the fat a little bit.
I only have small block intakes here.

Also, there's always those adapter spacers that convert the 2bbl manifold into a 4bbl flange.

I remember you having to do that on those 2 ram chargers.

 

The HSD would work, and it's free since you already have it.

Then use the 300dollars for a carb. Decent carb is always the hard part.

 

Ive got so much other junk to work on, that i only really wanna do this once. Im shooting for the best that i can get with what i got. The Holley just isnt gonna give me what i need for this. I never thought i would want one. But im looking for a Holley 650 spread bore. I might have a line on a cheap Dual port offy with a Q jet flange. I hope that works out.


What about you????? You wanna take it up a notch? Swap me for your performer?

 

Oh and i also have your 1-3/4 headers here. SteveO dropped them off with some other junk so i can use them for mock up and see if they fit. Just one of 3 sets im gonna try! lol Boy its gonna be fun. Wanna come out next week some time and roll around on the blacktop? I ordered a new cam, oil pump, and gaskets for the 425. I hope i have an intake and carb by the beginning of the week to brake in the cam and start the swap.

 

I didn't know you had all those fancy new parts.
I still think that intake is really nice and you should use it.
It's a truck, and that intake design wouldn't ill affect a motor with a torque cam too much. You have a lot of gear and only 3 speeds anyway.

 

Let me know how the mock up goes, I am going to need those back soon.
I still have to bend some new brake lines for the front of the delta, and need to check the clearances when I toss those headers back in.
I did the rears already, but that's because they were the easy ones . The original 1980's brake lines were looking pretty sad.

 

Im planing on doing it next week so ill be done with them soon. Ill let you know.

 

I am pretty sure I have a stock 455 intake that you could have, I will check when I get home. I am about 1 1/2 hours from you.

 

I think i have one too. But i wanna try to find an aluminum one if i can. Thanks for the offer.

 

Intake and carb found!
