235 4bbl intake manifold - 04/10/10 11:17 AM
Hello,
I've been lurking here for years. This is a great site.
I have a '51 Chev Coupe with a 235 and a 5 speed S10 trans.
The engine is bored and decked. The head was milled to clean up. I've calculated the CR at about 9:1. It has a 254 cam and HEI Dizzy.
I drive the car nearly every day, so around town driveability is
very important.
I am going to install Fenton headers and I want to upgrade the intake. I want to use a single 2bbl carb, and eventually install a Throttle body EFI system.
I am not aware of any single 2bbl intakes, and am only aware of the Clifford intake and an earlier production of Offy intakes that are 4 bbl. I've heard that the offy has a smaller runner cross section and is better suited for lower rpm use. Is this correct, or are the two manifolds similar?
Thanks for any input.
Flatout
