all you have to do is read this thread. i told you earlier get a 1ton front a 14bff rear.

build traction bars instead of that weird swingy block thing.

and get the best tranny you can afford.

Dudewith4x4 · 12-25-2009, 12:28 AM

Okay.

I see what you mean but even with traction bars the frame will hit the axle wont it
?

jgh64pkup · 12-25-2009, 08:57 AM

no the traction bars catch the axle wrap and brace it against the leaf spring

Dudewith4x4 · 12-25-2009, 02:38 PM

All carbs have the same bottom right? So it does matter what manifold there is right?

Nope holley and carters have different "bolt patterns"

Dudewith4x4 · 12-25-2009, 03:20 PM

So on the Wieland Intake.. Will a Edelbrock Carb fit on it?

jgh64pkup · 12-25-2009, 10:09 PM

the edelbrock (carter) has both the quadrajet (spreadbore) bolt pattern and the 4150 holley (squarebore) pattern so it will fit on either pattern

Dudewith4x4 · 12-26-2009, 01:11 AM

So your saying it will but the quadrajet wont fit on the wieland.

jgh64pkup · 12-26-2009, 01:44 AM

it depends which weiand is it
if it is a street warrior then yes it will work

Dudewith4x4 · 12-26-2009, 01:47 AM

Tah-dah

Oh yead dude. Theres already over 700 views on this thread!

jgh64pkup · 12-26-2009, 01:55 AM

nope the quadrajet will not fit without an adapter
thats what im using for now until i get another carb and i have a performer rpm edelbrock intake

Dudewith4x4 · 12-26-2009, 02:00 AM

Should a 600 edelbrock carb fit on there?

jgh64pkup · 12-26-2009, 02:18 AM

yep it sure will

Dudewith4x4 · 12-26-2009, 02:19 AM

Is there anyway to make sure a carb works without hooking it up.

jgh64pkup · 12-26-2009, 02:21 AM

not really i would go through it though these edelbrocks are really easy

Dudewith4x4 · 12-26-2009, 02:22 AM

What do you mean? rebuild it?

jgh64pkup · 12-26-2009, 02:25 AM

yep

yes it will, it has both patterns.

you may need to lay a gasket on it to make sure the secondaries will clear the flange but a little time with a flad wheel or die grinder will solve that.

Dudewith4x4 · 12-26-2009, 02:40 PM

The other set of holes you mean?

*2tons of fun* · 12-26-2009, 02:58 PM

yes.

Dudewith4x4 · 12-26-2009, 03:23 PM

Thanks man.
