Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines 3x2 holley setup on chev 235?

I was wondering if three holley 94's on a offy triple intake with adapters is too much cfm for a stock 235 i think thier rated at about 160 cfm each,not sure. will this setup work, any help is greatly appreciated

Dear Rusty;

That's right. Unless highly modified, 3 carbs is to much carburation.

Two 1 bbl(s) is the most common setup for those. They look nice, don't cost much and arn't to bad on gas mileage.

The best way would be to find another head & rework it and then install it with the "2 pot" & headers.

Good luck, John M.....

Rusty,

Rusty,
I agree that three two's is too much. However,I built a 3 x 2 tri power for my street tub using (3) Rochester 2GC's. The end carbs were non-functional dummies. Dummy fuel lines and dummy linkage too. Check it out in the "Racing" section. It looked so convincing that once I was showing the car to a high school auto shop class and the instructor asked me "is it hard to keep the three carbs synchronized?" Gotcha.

2GC's are dirt cheap I usually get rebuildables at swap meets for around $5. Some people have given them to me too. They are good carbs, easy to rebuild and easy to set up. Consider it.

Holley 94's flow almost exactly the same as the large Rochester B's.

Dear Frenchtown;

How is that old bus coming along???

John, All car projects are on hold. My wife fell off a scaffold last month and was seriously injured.
