1956322 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Ok I know it's not ideal from a performance stand point but will it run smoothly etc... I've about had it with this Holley 2 barrel and thinking about getting a new edelbrock and running one of those adapters until I can get an actual 4 barrel intake.

1956322 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Yeah maybe but more expensive and more headache plumbing wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Please send Private Message if interested in a nice 1956 4brl intake, reasonable(IMHO)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1956322 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 The Holley is an aftermarket 2300 series 350 cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old-tank Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The original 2 barrel was only about 250 cfm. You will not get the velocity on a larger carb to give good driveability in city driving (probably runs like a scalded dog at WOT). The original 4 barrel (wcfb or 4gc) was only about 450 cfm with the primaries about half of that. If you go with the edelbrock 4 barrel, go small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbking Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Assuming you have the original two-barrel manifold, you will get BETTER driveability, power, and fuel economy from an original two-barrel than you will with the e-clone running through an adapter. But your call. Jon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbking Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Bernie - Guessing that he is running the Holley 2300 through an adapter also, which would make it run worse than the original two-barrel. Even though rated 350 CFM, the effective CFM through the adapter would be less than the original. Jon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1956322 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 I am referring to the Holley 2300 series... Not sure why it would flow worse I was actually using a nice adapter that matched the ports on the original intake and gently enlarged to the Holley.. But anyhow.. Got an edelbrock avs2 650 carb.. Right now running an adapter to that other adapter so obviously not the best set up but it's actually running pretty well.. It'll by me time until I can get a 4bbl intake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemon Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 It'll probably run fine until you go WOT, then you're stuffing 4 holes of fuel into 2 holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Just stuff a potato in the tailpipe and it'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
