4 Bbl Intake For 235 Straight Six

Okay, I've Looked Around, Perhaps Not In The Right Places But Does Anybody Know Where To Find A 4 Bbl Intake For The '53 Chevy? Offenhauser Or Clifford?

 

Try Clifford. i believe he has one.

 

clifford is definetly the place but you can also find the inliners international home page and follow some links to lots of good inline parts places.

I recently acquired a Clifford 4bbl manifold that I think is for a Chev 6. Clifford 4500. New, never used, never installed on an engine. Make you a helluva good deal. PM me if this is a manifold you can use.

 

Stovebolt Engine Co. They carry a 4bbl offenhauser intake for around $180 if i remember right.

 

The one that Clifford offers is a 4500WH which is water heated. Think its $289 new. I just picked up a 4500 with an Edelbrock 600 carb off of ebay. But I don't believe the plain 4500 is water heated.

Which way are you going to install your carb? Mine was used on a '56 Chevy, carb is mounted in the normal north & south position. I was told you should mount the carb east & west. Reasoning is that when just running on the 2 bbls, less fuel mixture gets to the rear cylinders. East/west gives a more even blend.

Any one know if this makes a noticeable differce. I see Bob K's car in the Ego Rama, has the 4 bbl mounted east/west on a Clifford intake. Any ideas for making a linkage for this set up?

Don't mean to hijack your post. Let me know if you want me to delete.

 

being that the question has been sufficiently answered I don think that you hijacked the post. I have thought the same thing about the postioning on my 235. I have it n-s but have thought about the fuel delivery issue. It seems that it would be far superior E-W. If anyone has info /pics of a setup let me know. The carb is a 500 carter.

 

it you have that intake (235 ci) 4 barrel. Please call me. My name is Leland in texas. 512 659 2801. lwaddell28@yahoo.com.Thank you.

 

If you run a 600 Eddy on a stock engine, remove the link disconnecting the rear barrels. A 390 Holley might work with vacuum secondaries but they don’t have them..
Clifford has an adapter plate for a 2 barrel.

 

@Royce Waddell , this thread is old enough to get a driver's license. Check the date on the post you resurrected.

 

^ Ha ha, that's a good one!
