carb adapters

I don't think I'm ever going to make up my mind. Anyway I have a 390 with a 2bbl and I have wanted a bigger carb. I have thought about a 600cfm 4bbl or a 500cfm 2bbl. I have heard there are some adapters that allow you to run a 4bbl on a 2bbl intake. Where would I get one of these?

The Mr Gasket adaptors are junk. They have too many holes and are hard to get sealed up.

actually the mr. gasket one's will work but their are others.............try summit or somewhere similar..........if you do use the mr. gasket one, just make sure its sealed well and dry fit it to the carb and manifold to make sure there's no gaps......also, don't over tighten the bolts on these and use thick gaskets because if the spacer isnt perfectly flat and you tighten it down with thin gaskes the corner bolt holes will crack.
you may wanna try the larger 2 bbl carb as the 4 bbl would work way way better if it were on a 4bbl manifold.
