I was telling my brother in law about the slightly off set 4v carb adapters I remembered seeing years ago at local speed shops (now defunct). They basically bolted to the intake and allowed you to position your carb either a little further forward, or rearward, depending on which way you installed them. It wasn't a BIG offset...like maybe a half inch or so...just moved the venturis back or forth a little to allow the carb to clear obstructions such as another carb, a distributor or whatever. (He bought an Offy dual quad manifold for his 348 and wants to run Holleys, but they won't quite fit. With the offset adapters I was recalling, he could do it...although I think two CARTERS look better on a 348/409...and they'd fit without adapters!) Maybe it was Trans-Dapt or Mr Gasket that sold the adapters? Anyone know...or have a couple?
I think SAMIYAM showed me soem WEIRD shit like that one time in HIS GARAGE,, But then AGAIN sam HAS the COOLEST shit in his GARAGE,,,, It's like he DOESN't EVEN care it's there...... he had some weird CARB and INTAKE stuff for the NEWER carbs,,,,, I need to get that BITCH to sell me some 97's,,, Maybe I was seeing things
I remember seeing some Offy offsets, they offset it like 4" tho. I belive they were for a dual quad to make it into a crossram lookin intake, they were pretty damn cool looking. -Jesse
They are made by Offenhauser, lets you run duel Holleys without the float bowls hitting. I dont have my Offy catalog handy or I would look up the part # for you.
