Quadrajet question

Got the one off of my 86 regal and wanted to know if it can be adapted to my 71 cutlass 350. Its a 2bbl car so I already know I need a performer.

The stock Qjet from an 86 will be a computer controlled Qjet. You cannot use it without the complete CCC computer system and matching distributor.

You can use an aluminum intake off of a 307....

Depends on the year. A4 intakes are fine, A5 intakes have teeny tiny ports and would HURT performance. Of course, the A4s don't flow any better, they are just lighter. And not all 307s have aluminum intakes.

Get the last carb you listed, should be 350 or 403 application. It should be a close calibration wise. A Performer or A4 intake will work really well with that.
