Custom 2x4 Intake manifold

[88m5]

Hi
I pickup a interesting 2x4 intake manifold obviously custom made and I am thinking of using this for some Holley carbs and mount them sideways. I was wondering what some of you think on this.

Thanks

Looks like a big cube high rpm intake to me.

I aways wondered if you couldn;t make an adapter top to spread the spacing out for end to end Holleys and blend it into an 881 intake.

Depends on what it's being bolted to and what the intended usage is. Without specifics, I would say for a street car you would very likely be happier with that edelbrock in the background. If it's a race car, it could very well go either way. There are definite deficiencies in that intake though who ever made it did a nice job with what they started with. If you do try it, for sure put at least 1" spacers on it.

The manifold in the background a Edlebrock 5408 which is supposed to be a small port one but it is a large port which is Edelbrock 5409

I installed some old 1850 Holley on the manifold and they fit.

Update on a inline 2x4 Holley carburetors. One manifold is single plane and the other is a Edelbrock dual plane with adapters both will fit and clear. I will probably do the adapters first and see how it goes.

Is there room for the distributor?

 

[88m5]

Yes on both manifolds. The single plane manifold I will need to put a space on front carburetor to clear thermostat housing unless I can find a low profile thermostat housing

You make and should sell them spacers and adapters. I was able to use the Offy adapters and put my FST carbs on the Offy small port dual quad intake but had to use the factory distributor for clearance then use the small MSD cap on it, but it works

Is it possibly for a boat application? The angle of the carbs looks pretty steep for a car.

Not that I know of but I am thinking of getting a couple of wedge carburetor spacer.

 

[425/409ER]

I might have to try making some spacers like that.

Update mock up on my motor everything clears

Is that the modified top or standard intake with offset spacers?

Offset spacers intake I also have modified Intake i will do next

Sideways another option if you use a center squirters or change linkage and take off the vacuum dashpots.

I have one for my 63 Belair build. Russ Campbell is looking to buy one. He had one on his 62 that he sold to Grumpy (Dick MacKinzie) He inquired about mine and I’m hanging on to it. I like yours 88m5

Russ i might have one for sale after i stop by to see Tooth.
