Intake Manifold Mod
1964 292 2bbl
I posted this in the y block forum but wanted to see if I could reach anyone else. Looking to upgrade to a 4barrell for some extra power. Has anyone milled and drilled a two barrel y block’s specifically intake into a four barrel? Would a machine shop even do that and would it be cheaper than the 300 or so that intakes are put up for on eBay. Any help or advice would be greT

Not practical, not cheaper than a real 4bbl.
What 2bbl do you have now?
Look for a cicular "clock" like symbol in the casting, and see what the number is--IF it's an Autolite (Ford) carb like this:

OK if you have an Autolite 2bbl, check for that symbol and find out what the number is. They made several sizes and if you have a tiny one on there, you can upgrade to a bigger one. It's bolt on, and you shouldn't have any issues making it work right.
Not dramatic, but then the 4bbl isn't going to be dramatic either.
