Hey Guys, I'm looking for a OL4B intake for my 350. I would like one in great shape and clean if possile. I need one that's for a square bore if they made one....not sure about that.

 

I have a very nice one and it is a square bore carb mount. PM me your email and I will send pics, thanks.

 

Chad's a great seller - no sweat dealing with him.

i have one, if anyone else wants one, but it is not a square bore

 

Orange442,


I've been reading this intake won't work with an HEI, is that right?

 

here is a pic of a spread bore i have for sale - for use with say a 66 -72 q-jet, the square bore intake would be my choice for use on a 64 442 with the OEM carb and dual snorkle air cleaner set-up to fit correctly or if you want to run your orig early carb on an 65. late 65 and on used spread bore pattern.

 

Lunaboy, did you ever happen to run an HEI with that intake? That's a beautiful intake too!
What ever intake I do get it's going in this.

 

if you are using it in that resto with the engine mounted further forward you should not have a problem. the prob; i believe is in the A body cars where the hei hits the firewall with that intake.

 

Luna, It's a Ratrod.

 

why would an intake make an hei hit the fire wall???you mean the HEI hits the intake...right?

 

Rick, what marxjunk said ... apparently hits the intake, like i said I believe it was an issue also, but not sure exactly what it was; so if you are set on the 0l4b with a square bore Edelbrock or (Carter AFB) you could try some other means of electronic ignition instead of hei; maybe petronix? i bet someone else can help you in this area.

 

Lunaboy, I think I understand what your saying. There can be two issues with the OL4B intake.


First issue: is the distributor housing or cap hitting the intake runner making timing adjustments difficult or just not fitting period.


Second issue: is the vacuum advance unit hitting the firewall only because you try and reclock the distributor so you can make timing adjustments. The second issue won't be a problem with my Ratrod....got plenty of firewall clearance.


And like you said I can always put a smaller distributor housing in her so everything works great.

In great shape

 

Clean intake.

 

Is this manifold still for sale? Please advise. Thanks, Rick O'Brien

 

Yes it is

 

How much do you want?? V=Can you share some photos of the water ports??? Are all of the threaded holes good??

Thanks,
Rick

 

It is funny how all the new intakes are universal and fit both square and spread bore carbs. You can always spot an older intake because they dont have all the extra holes and spread bore pattern.
