sbc fenton manifold

found this full polished 3x2 sbc intake manifold my father in law is gonna give me anyone know what it might go for if i was to sell it also where could i find carbs for it?

 

Any pics????

 

ive got a fenton 3x2 as well - 94s and 97s fit the one I have - I think it will also accept 4 bolt base carbs, cant remember though as its been so long since i seen it

 

I don't know how much it COULD sell for, but I'll give you $75 for it.

I have sbc fenton 3x 2 intake with rochesters on it

 

The "period" key is your friend..........

 

here you go

 

I would take it off you hands. I sent you a P.M.

 

i was just seein what it might be worth if i did sell it have a custom 62 caddy it would look good in..

 

where would i find carbs and maybe a progressive linkage?

 

Tripower carbs are a bit tough to find anywhere (cheap) but it depends on if they are large base or small base. Progressive linkage would matter on the same thing.

 

how do i tell if there are large or small its a rectangle bolt pattern if that helps

 

I'd have to see up close, but you could Google "Rochester Carb Database" and cross reference the numbers.

 

ok so i go off numbers and where are those located?

 

There is the same intake with rochester carbs and linkage on epay right now. The bidding is up to $400.00.

 

the only thing i can really find on the carb is on the top say 2 jet rochester

 

Numbers are usually under the bowls.

 

Rule of thumb is usually anything newer than '64 is large base, but there are those exceptions. Hope that helps. It's supper time and I'm GONE!

 

I'm no expert but this is what I've learned so far...This is the small base carb that they make the 3 deuce extended shafts for. I look for the backwards C shaped slot on the right side with the bolt holes through it. (exhaust p***age) They made a newer model with the same bolt pattern that will fit your manifold but it won't have this slot and you may have to make your own linkage for the drivers side.

Most of the progressive kits are made to work with the above carb base with extended shafts. Anything is possible but you'll find more parts for a carb with this base.



They made this carb with a side fuel inlet. I think about 1965 up to?. Check with all your Chevelle and Nova buddies. The earlier ones up to 1964 had a front inlet with the same base. These will work too.

The hard part is finding 3 that match at a reasonable price. They were throw aways for years and now they are hot.


This manual is good reading. It tells you all about the different systems inside the basic Rochester carb.



This is my old Fenton. I bought this one as you see it and sold it with the truck.

I'm not positive about the dates but I'm sure I'll get corrected if I made a mistake. I'm learning as I go also.

 

tommy thats a good lookin engine almost what my sbc looks like in my cad besides the valve covers and induction

 

How late was Fenton in business? My Fenton intake takes Rochesters that were originally on a Chevy 348 and I believe they're small base. Have seen any different from mine. Word of caution. Fenton didn't put a whole lot of material where the rear water jackets come up through the heads (same as front of course but no problem there.) I had to put a bead of weld along the bottom inside edge of my manifold to stop water from leaking into the lifter valley and down into the pan. Now I realize if I had bought Edlebrock intake gaskets I would have been OK. They have a lot more material the felpros and others I tried before finding the problem.
