2bbl intake for 300 I6
I've seen 4bbl intakes for 300's from Offenhauser but does anyone make 2bbl intakes for them? I got a 79 F-150 4x4 with 4spd w/ granny gear and a stock 300. I just put a 2 1/4" single inlet dual outlet flowmaster and chrome 3" tips on it. I wish it would have a little more pep. Would a 2bbl make a difference in hard acceleration?
Thanks,
Jeff

2bbl intake for 300 I6
I am currently running a clifford manifold (water heated) with a holley 350 cfm 2 bl with a 4-2 adapter. Stock cam.
Works great - more torque than the 450 cfm 4 I started with (and passes emisions!) but not the top end. Of course the 6 does not have much top end any way and I don't push it that hard so what the heck. I am getting approx 15 mpg combo driving.
Many people have used the holley 390 cfm 4 and swear by them - was too $ much for me at the time.
I expect you could do the same with an offy manifold - those that have offy's also had upgraded cams so I can't say how good they are stock compared to the clifford.

What style of 2V carburetor are you using? Is it the type you see on a lot of V8's?
