so i went to my local napa, looking to see if the owner can price out a 4bbl intake for my 292 and to see how much a 1bbl carb was he had on a shelf. anyways when i asked about the carb he brings me out back to the machine shop and hands me a 235-261inline 6 intake and exhaust, intake modified for 3 1bbl with 2 still attached. i ask how much and he says take it! (the carb for sale was the 3rd missing carb off the intake). i know the intake and exh wont fit my 292 but at least the 1bbl carbs will work till i get that 4bbl intake. i did at least buy the rebuild kit off him for 21$

no actual question here was just excited and wanted to share

Better check the bubblegum welds on those added-on outboard flanges REAL GOOD!

Shyguy · 02-09-2011, 07:10 PM

Great score.

Looks like the pre-monojet carbs. I have seen one that looks like them on a '67 L6 250.

Longhorn Man · 02-09-2011, 08:42 PM

put it on e-bay to help fund the intake you want.

yeah ... have seen those used on dual carb D'ellorto's on a VeeDub ... what little hair the guy had left afterwards was gray

That is cool. Made by a real dude that didnt have the internet to run his mouth on....

Just got out in the garage & did it! Nice piece of history.

292farmer · 02-10-2011, 08:37 AM

yeah they are i believe rochester b's that intake definetly has a build up of welds lol. i was maybe thinking of selling the intake and exh to get my 4bbl intake, but ive got 2 of 3 carbs maybe i should get the 3x1bbl intake....idk yet

i might hang on to them a little before i decide what im doing, maybe i'll have to make a 261 powered hot rod..i was also thinking of just passing them on to who ever needs the manifolds, kinda like a paying it forward thing.

I had a original Torker intake (with front oil fill hole) and a 365hp 327 intake gave to me the other day. I know your feeling, I was/am happy as a pig in ****

292farmer · 02-10-2011, 08:59 PM

lol that's one way to put it, that makes me think of my dads nova he had, over 400hp out of a 327v8 used to lift car off the ground, cresting a hill outside of town when he had it floored.

RCbowtie69 · 02-10-2011, 09:04 PM

Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! very nice

292farmer · 02-11-2011, 08:53 AM

okay so i did some research and it seems these carbs can flow 250-275cfm can anyone concur? i'm assuming the larger carb(barrel wise) will flow the most so im using that one on the 292 for now.
im just wondering if anyone knows a good site on rochester 1bbl carbs? im going to be using the one to the right in the pic, it has a 53 jet now, the left has a 52, will roch, 2 and 4bbl jets swap in if needed? thanks guys
