I have a 250 chevy and would like to add some speed parts. Valve cover and some other items to make it look good. What twin carb and manafold set up would be good for this motor? I'm running a auto trans if this make a diffrence..Thanks, Christmas is almost here.....
Clifford stuff is great if your looking for strickly performance. My local I-6 guru advised me to stay away from the Clifford manifolds unless you're building a race motor. I have an Offy 3 carb intake I plan on putting on my 194 in My Nova wagon, going to make the 2 outside carbs non functional and just run off the center carb. The Offy I have will mount 3 OEM carbs. It might sound CHEESY to some but i'm just going for the look on this build, plus it's only a stock 194 with a glide, how much fuel can it take. Plenty of Offy stuff out there both new & used. Got my manifold off evilbay for $110.00. Picked up a finned aluminum valve cover off a Mercruiser boat motor at a swap meet for $40.00. Needs the paint removed and either gl*** beaded or polished. It's pretty cool as it had no names on it. I have a decent factory chrome SS valve cover, if your interested PM me.
All good advice !! If you are not in a hurry there is plenty of used stuff around for reasonable prices . I think I've only bought 1 new piece for both my inliners . Post in the wanted section .
2nd that, on Patrick antique auto. He'll even rebuild stuff for you and fab custom intake set-ups, top notch guy. But Langdons is still probably the #1 stop for Inliners International, he'll make (or has already made) just about anything you can dream up. ****gs
