Edelbrock Large Port 2 x 4 Intake

[409gang]

Has anyone else ran into this problem, trying to mount my 3804 and 3361 carbs on my Edelbrock intake and 2 of the four bolt holes on each carb don't align up (the rear drivers side & the front passenger side holes). I really don't want to drill out the base on my carbs, what's wrong with Edelbrock that they can't drill and tap all the holes to accommodate factory carbs.

Oh boy, don't get me going on Edelbroke's crap machining problems. One dealing with those butt wipes was enough for me.

I know it seems stupid as....Biden....but wouldnt it be better to have intake holes Tig welded shut then drill and tap proper location?

Let’s try to focus on car topics here. No body cares about our other opinions.

I hope Edelbrock has not decided to get too "liberal" with their manufacturing tolerances. We know what happens to the product quality when not adhering to basic common sense. Maybe Edelbrock "elected" to force a change on the community because it fit their own personal feelings rather than what they promised. I wonder if "Biden's" corvette has any Edelbrock products on them? I bet it would not take a DOJ inquiry if "Biden" would have received that intake manifold!

Got another one to protect from themselves Bob.

The holes aren't in the wrong place they just didn't drill and tap all of them, the boss is there but not drilled and tapped. The engine is all together so now I need to drill and tap without busting thru the bottom of the casting and getting crap inside the intake. I think I would rather do this than drill extra holes in my carburetors. If I would have noticed this before the intake was installed it would have been an easy fix.

Steve,,,,,,,its my understanding the intake you have by reading edelbrock applications is that it was intended for edelbrock carbs 500 thunder series and avs which have been matched to work toghether. No where that i see it fits older factory carbs that i read. I'm not defending edelbrock or bashing you either . Maybe you can make it work on your own modifications. Like to hear your fix , maybe have to remove from engine as you say and drill and tap????? Might be helpfull for others that are doing the same???

I think I'd pull the intake then drill

I apologize to 409gang for stealing his thread.


This is all Wristpins fault


You sir literally posted about a non car topic, then added your political opinion. You did exactly what you told us not to do. Seems a bit hypocritical to me. Additionally, you could have simply ignored the post. However you decided to force your opinion on us. Therefore you are open to others opinions. Now like some here, instead of being an adult, you whine like a child for the moderator to protect you from yourself. And you wonder why they say liberalism is a mental disorder.

Don't hold your breath unless BLUE is your favorite color...

Steve, I would tape it all up and drill and tap it out using a good shop vac...

Thought this posted earlier but it did not. Edelbrock AFB clones have both holes for Holley and AFB drilled in the carb(at least the front) so I guess the manifold expects you to use the wider Holley pattern. I'll look at my early intake as I thought both were drilled on it.

Scary to get remnants into intake but Tooth has a good idea. If you use vacuum maybe also lay an old shirt under the hole location when you drill to catch anything that might get past vacuum nozzle. At least its 2 holes and not more. Good luck.
Go Fish i was trying to inject a bit of humor. I do apologize for ticking you off.

To hell with Biden. If I have offended anyone, get over it and yourself. You may be out, but I will stay with my friends.

 

[MRHP]

Sorry for the off topic. Ill get back in my cage now.

Don you might be right, I bought this intake (new) off of Ebay about a year and a half ago from an individual as at that time they were almost impossible to get from an Edelbrock vender. Never checked into the bolt pattern I just assumed since it was a large port 409 intake it would have had a bolt pattern for factory carbs. The casting has the boss's there for the factory bolt pattern just not drilled. I hate to molest my factory carbs (3804 and 3361) and would rather drill and tap the intake, I'll let everyone know the outcome.

Good luck Steve!

I care about your opinion as long as you aren't a liberal.

He merely mentioned the word BIDEN, with a single reference to stupid. That's it. Thats all it takes for your hypersensitive ass to call for a moderator? Good God a week can't go by fast enough.
