Hi,
It sure has been quiet on the forums.

I've been thinking about what carb to use on a Chevy 250.
It was in a 64 Chevelle with Turbo 350, 390 Holley, Clifford manifold, headers, hotter cam, head work.
Going into a resto mod car, a 64 Malibu SS.
This car had a 194 w/ Powerglide.
Now going to be a 250 with 4 speed. Trying to make it look stock.

I want to run the big 292 sized 1 bbl Rochester B model on a Offy 4 bbl intake with a stock exhaust. (Offy will be painted orange to fool most of the people some of the time)
Thinking I could carve out the part of intake with the 4 holes and then make a custom plate to bolt the 1B onto and be able to swap to a 2 or 4 barrel later if it seemed like a better idea.

Q. I don't think the structure of the manifold should be compromised by the metal removal. Am I right?

Q. 1/2" or 1" for mounting plate?

Be interested in members thoughts.
Thanks
