But, it was freshly rebuilt so...
We went ahead and modified a #1937 Holley to Rochester adapter to work with the 351E's larger intake pattern and dropped the carb on.
Everything hooked up cleanly and other than a non-functioning electric choke, actually ran pretty well for not being dialed in...easily better than the Rochester. We'll tune it a bit over the weekend and decide if we still need the 500.
The chrome will go away when we have time to find something more appropriate.  |
can you give me more info on how you mounted the 1937 adapter to the larger manifold, I have a 351 and want to do this thanks
