Better measurements and ...

Stud center to center length = 3 1/4"

Stud center to center width += 1 7/8"


As for the carburetor that was on it, junk and missing a lot of parts. I was surprised it ran at all. What ever it is the kit for is difficult to come by and I though I would put a FoMoco or Holley on it since I had some of those laying around but no luck on the pattern. The truck was running strong before the carb started leaking fuel and acting up in general.

This is a big farm truck so someone may want to restore it or for parts including the Y block so finding something that will get it up and running is all that is needed at this point.

Are you sure on that width? Sure it isn't 2-7/8"?

An early Rochester 2G has a 3-1/4" x 2-7/8" mounting. Used on many GM cars in the 50's and 60's.

I just re-measured the 2GC I have in the shop and that is what the holes measure center to center, 3 1/4 by 1 7/8.

You're right! I shouldn't have trusted info on the internet.
