Intake manifold
Can i exhange a 2 barrel intake manifold for a 4 barrel manifold without going into changing cam, or doing anything with heads,etc.
Couple years back had 70 torino 302 rebuilt, and now installing in 65 F100. Mech. said he put bigger cam, sorry to say don't know what size. Believe i mentioned before rebuild considering adding 4 barrel carb. Currently has stock manifold w/ 2 barrel carb that need to replace or rebuild. Opportunity to pick up new Edlebrook performer with holley 4 barrel for peanuts. Lot cheaper than would cost to rebuild/replace the 2 barrel. Can i just swap the intake manifolds.
any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanx
dave

Should be a direct swap, w/ no other mods necessary that I know of, as long as the Performer you are picking up was made for the earlier 302's.
Edelbrock's website has a tech hint on these manifolds regarding the bolt pattern, check it out.

Really appreciate the input.
Bolt patterns same as block. There is a hole in carburator mounting flange, suspect for emission control purposes. Was told not an issue because the gasket blocks that off. Other than hole, can not see any other differences. I will check out the edelbrook web for additional info.

Does have the 12 bolt pattern. Good to know when I purchase the gasket. If whether improves, would like to install this weekend.
Thanx again for input,
