Anyone running dual 2 barrels on a 327

I am trying to get ideas on what carbs to run on a 327 going in my car. I am looking at one of the 2 x 2 adapters that summit or vintage speed sells. I know there are other choices but you can not beat the way they look. I would hope to run two 94 holley carbs. Is that enough carb for a mild and mostly stock 327. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Yes you can beat the way they look.

 

Not traditional enough for most on here, but if I was going to run a 2x2 setup I would run a dual quad manifold with either 2300 Holleys or Large base 2gc Rochesters. I've seen a car run 11's with a pair of the Rochesters, they make a lot more power than people think. 4bbls are WAAAY over rated.

 

Im running Rochesters and there basically stock with a rebuild on an LT1 350 so you should be fine.

 

I am sort of shocked that running two 94 holleys would not be very traditional!?
Anyway thanks for the help.

 

because back then the guys didn't want wimpy 2 barrels on their 327s. They would Put a real 4 barrel or better yet 2 four barrels. This 2 two barrel thing on a 327 is a new 21st century idea dreamed up by guys thinking it's traditional.
I'd like to revise this: Not all 2 barrel setups on a 327 are wimpy I.E.
Three 2s, Four 2s, six 2s. but two 2s belong on a flathead, not a mouse motor. My humble opinion.

 

2-94's on a stock 283,performed well and good mileage.

 

Bingo. Sorta like putting 3 97's on your sbf...

 

you can always go try an find a nicson 2x2 SBC intake. they look great too!

 

I ran (2) Rochester 2GV's on an old Eldebrock 2x4 intake. I used swapmeet carbs and 2brl.x4brl. adapter plates. The linkage was direct(not progressive) with no chokes. The car ran good. It was driven alot and was very reliable. Here's a shot at the HAMB Drags.

 

I don't run one, but I looked at Vintage Speed and I'm considering their setup for my 350 SBC. I emailed them and got some good specs and prices. I can see myself getting it one day.

The hard core, traditional guys are right. They're may not be period correct, but I'm almost sure I saw something similar back in the late 60's, in all the magazines. Being traditional has never stopped me from doing what I want to my car. I just like the look.

It's funny. Everyone knows how to make my car look right, but no ones offered any money for the **** they suggest. PM's accepted.

 

Traditional for a 327 trying to run performance is definitely not two 94's...it's two 2VG 500 Rochesters (actually 435's). It's funny how "traditional" is actually reinventing itself as time moves on. Ask the guys who actually ran 327's back in the day, not the wanna be "traditionalists"...

EDIT: Just read MO JUNKS posts... exactly what I was trying to say.

 

what is the reasoning? looks,performance, odd value ?

 

The OP didn't mention anything about tradition. he's already running HEI, so I'm thinking he doesn't really give a ****. He probably just wants the look and there's nothing wrong with that.

 

SamIyam's Roach Rod ran 2 dueces on (if memory serves) a modified stock intake. This car was an icon on the H.A.M.B. the first couple years I was on.

I think EELCO made the original ones. And Charlie Price (Vintage Speed) and SUMMIT just copied it.

No, I agree, nothing wrong with the "look", I guess I'm just punchy after all the traditional guys jumped on me about the bobber thread. Kills me car guys find so many things to be divisive over.

That said, I think two 94's is WAY too little carb for the average 327.

 

Ha! Too busy spending it on my own ****! Now if you wanna send ME some...

 

My second revise: I stand corrected, there was a 2x2 intake for the mouse motor once upon a time but I still say they belong on a flathead V8 Ford. Anyways check out post 61 on the "High Dollar" thread by Jive.

 

Had two 97's on a 307 sbc and was fine but I wouldn't want to push it any farther though.

 

I could see running two (or better yet, three) 94s on a 327 if you had a manifold to mount them directly and without adapters, but if you have a 4 barrel manifold, why not just run a vintage 4 barrel from that era? If you ask me the adapters to run a pair of vintage 2 barrels on a 4 barrel manifold just look like you're going too far out of your way to get to something that sort of looks "traditional" without actually finding the proper parts to do it right rather than just acknowledging that they had perfectly functional 4 barrel carbs by the time the 327's arrived and a lot of guys back then would have used them because, let's face it, they worked. The adapters always look like a kludge to me.

 

Seriously, why not just run a C355B and three rochesters?

 

I bought a setup off Ebay that used this method only the 2bbls are 2 500CFM Holleys. I'm going to try it on a 500 hp Nascar 355 I've got. After SamIam built his setup I became curious about trying it and when the Ebay auction popped up with virtually no bid activity I said "why not".

Now that's a horse of a different color.
