You could you flip it around and make a 2 barrel adapter for a 4 barrel intake.lol

Just depends on how keen the smog tech is and how good a job you did at hiding it. |

They are not made for putting a 4bbl on a two barrel intake. They are made for putting high performance 2 bbls on a 4 bbl intake. I run at a NASCAR track that has very restriced engien rules to keep speeds down. We run 350 or 500 2bbls on 4 bbl intakes. And yes, they work very well for this and they make them out of every thing from aluminum to wood, phenolic resign as well.

well from what i read on the package you could use it to put a 2 barrel carb on a 4 barrel intake or flip it around and put a 4 barrel carb on a 2 barrel intake...

Well you could use them either way, but trying to stuff 750 cfm down a hole that can barely support the stock 350 2bbl wont do you any good. WQorks well the other way around.

You would be surprised. By the way, it's the same stuff you can order from Summit racing, Jegs, Speedway Motors etc. etc. |

Try this
Put an oil drum on top of that adaptor. The hole sizes in the manifold still ain't gonna flow any more air/fuel mixture, are they? Ten ponds in a five pound bag.

Weird huh? But, whatever works. Like in the MoPar mag you were talking about where they did an intake on the head shootout. Even th clover leaf helped. |

Let's face it.........
It is designed as a quick fix for some situations. Do they work? Yes. Do they provid max performance? If worked with a professional setup to max a setup ( They can serve not only as an addaptor but also a plenum to speed up flow) . I once put a stock 2bbl off a 289 onto a 6 cyl. mustang. They didn't make a manifold at the time to upgrade and it ran great. NO, it wasn't my car. A friends.
