carb adapter - 3 X 2

im thinking of buying a three 2 brl. carb & adapter to a 4 brl. intake for a small block ford engine- the one they show in the speedway catalog. but im thiniking that i might have a clearance problem with front mounted distributor. has anyone tried this at all????--------goufos

 

It might be an issue. The old Ford 3 x 2 setup that was available years ago has the carbs jammed up against each other, and even my 2 x 4 setup has the two carbs right up against each other. What you might do is call the people who you are thinking of buying it from and get the measurement from the front mounting studs on the intake to the outer most front edge of the adapter.

If worst comes to worst you could go with the 2 x 2 adapter, I ran one on my 23 and it was nice and compact and worked well. Got mine from Vintage Speed.
