Hey Tom,
Will SKU 08-1015 the 1 barrel to 2 barrel adapter work with what I want to do? I have a weber 32/36 DGAV carb trying to adapt it to my 1967 Nova 230 inline 6 stock 1 barrel intake manifold. It has the 2 bolt pattern.
Mike,
Yes, it will work with your Webber D6AV and you should NOT need a linkage kit because your D6AV opens the same direction as your original carb.
Tom
i have a 77 250 with integrated intake, it has a mono jet i may want a weber, the engine has rv came 30 over with forged pistons and gear drive will the 2 barrel adapter work, and what carb should i use
Justin,
The Holley Weber would be a good choice but we do not sell linkage for your vehicle.
We only have around 8 left to sell, then we will no longer handle them.
Tom
Tom: Will this correctly fit up to my DODGE Power Wagon, WM300, 251 flathead with my stock intake manifold? Is there an available set of collectors and downpipes for these to the stock exhaust, or would I have to go custom from them back to the can?? Thanks.
Dave
Our headers will NOT provide heat to your stock inlet manifold and they will not bolt up to your stock exhaust.
Most users have dual exhaust pipes made at an exhaust shop.
Tom
Hello Tom,
and Merry christmas! I have a ’78 250 with a 1bbl.am lookin for a 2bbl intake.can’t seem to find anything in salvage anymore. Got anything of the sort?? thanks,Allen
Allen,
There were NO two barrel intakes made in the USA.
We have a few OFFY 1 x 4 intakes ($240.00) that work very well with a Holley 390 or Edlebrock 500.
You also could convert to a 2 barrel on your factory intake if hood clearance isn’t a problem.
Tom
Hi Tom, Your motor mount kit, as I understand will facilitate the 216 to 292 swap I want to do. Is the kit the same for trucks and cars or are there different kits? I am swapping on a 42 stylemaster coupe and putting a th350 behind the 292. Also what am I going to run into as far as a trans mount? Thanks in advance for your time.
Philip,
There are different kits for different applications which we will review when you order.
We are however, discontinuing the mounts soon, so please order ASAP (after Jan 1st.)
Tom
I have a 54 chevy pickup with a inline 6 & three speed transmission. I want to install a 1962 194 inline 6 motor but still use that same 54 transmission & rear end. Is there a special bell housing to match up the motor & transmission?
Tom,Im looking to get rid of the 1904 single narrel on my 62 scout 152 and go with te 2 bbl hooley you offer here,what else do i need as far as adapters,linkage,ect?Do you offer a carb jetted for this app?Thanx Cole
Cole,
Yes, the Holley Weber makes a nice upgrade. You will need an adapter, carb, linkage and an air cleaner. Call to discuss (586-739-9601) hood clearance issues.
Tom
my 1954 chevy truck has a 235 engine that does not have an oil filter. do you have a oil filter housing kit? i can probably get a filter head at tennessee filter. where should i plumb it on the driver side of the block?thank you
Leslie,
The 1954 235 engine did NOT have a real oil filter from the factory however dealers often installed a “partial flow” 10% or “bypass” filter.
These are NOT really a functional filter and don’t do much.
If you want a good used one, call to order.
Tom
the engine in my 1954 chevy truck has the casting number of 3769716 with a date code E 10-2 so it is suppossed to be a 1962 235.I would like to replace the 3speed transmission with a 5speed overdrive transmission out of a s10 truck-any suggestions
Leslie,
This would be an excellent choice.
You will need an open driveline with about a 3.70 axle ratio to go with the 5 speed overdrive from a 1983 – 1987 S-10 truck (WITH A 2.8L V6 ONLY).
Tom
HI Tom,
I spoke with you about putting a 2004R in my 50′ 3100. I never thought to ask what to do about supporting the rear of the engine when the stock bell housing is removed. I know I will need a transmission mount for the 200 4R but is seem like that the torque from the motor will make it tip over? Any suggestions?
I am looking for a intake manifold for may chevy truck 6 cylinder 1977 (line). with a 250 engine
Where can i find one, or some headers that fit. This are the one that bolt together the intake and the manifold.
i am new to the site but i would like to install a s10 5speed overdrive transmission in my 1954 chevy 1/2 ton pickup-it has a 3speed transmission on the colume-what part number 5speed do i need-it has a 235 6cylinder engine-please advise-thank you
Leslie,
You need a 1983 – 1987 S-10 T-5 from a 2.8L V6 equipped pick-up.
This will have a 3.76 1st gear and a .73 overdrive.
I recommend a 3.73 axle ratio in combination with this transmission.
Tom
Chally,
The dual carb set up is the best but it costs more but the single Holly Weber carb makes a nice affordable upgrade.
The S-10 5 speed overdrive manual transmission, is the simplest overdrive conversion.
Tom
I have a 292ci that has a cobbled together accessory bracket system. It has been modded to run a stock GM power steering pump, and the truck (64 longbed fleetside) is sitting on a 73′ 3/4 ton Chevy frame. What I really need to find is a pulley and bracket set up to run power steering and alternator. Do you guys have something like this or know where I need to look? The problem I am running into is that I cannot get the alternator belt tensioned enough to charge the system properly or reliably. I would like to get away from just making do and put together a quality system for it in one shot, one that works.
Tom,
I’m replying this route because I’ve not tried emailing you before so don’t know how to start a conversation when asking you for advice.
I also have a rebuilt 292 that I’ve installed in a 38 chevy trk; I bought a triple intake and a split exhaust manifolds from you but I need a starting point to put fuel jets in the three 1-barrel rochester carbs.
It seem’s like I once read that you ended up with a 0.042 for the primary carb and 0.032 in the two secondary carbs.
Would you comment on a size of jets that you have exiperence so that I have a start point?
You were right the offenhouser linkage was not what I needed for this set up.
Vic,
Original jet sizes should be the place where you start but your (USED??) carbs may not have original jets.
Sorry, I do not know exactly what to recommend.
Tom
I have a 1963 Chevy ii, nova, ss that came with a 194 and a floor shift powerglide. The 1963 chevy ii has the wider bucket seats which are almost like bench seats.
I am currently building an engine for the car. The motor is a 1969 chevy truck 250 with lump port heads, holley 390 double pumper with mechanical secondaries, offy intake, hei dist., and soon I will order your headers and heat plate and install a 2 inch diameter dual exhaust with glass packs.
I am looking for a t5 tranny per your recommendations posted on this site. I already have a new 153 tooth flywheel and a 10-1/2 inch performance clutch setup.
My questions are:
1) What year/style T5 tranny will be the best to look for?
2) Will I have to cut the floor or just purchase the floor hump four speed hole (I do not want to modify the floor if I don’t have to)?
3) I have no idea what hp or torque I will be making but I listed the engine build specs so you could advise if I can use a t5 from a six cylinder to handle the mods listed above or do I need a WC?
4) I have a 309 bell housing and plan on using the mechanical clutch linkage but does this limit the year and eliminate V8 trannies for my set up (the splines are different so I know I need a new clutch plate, but the twited mount seems like a problem to me)?
5) When you recommend a tranny, please let me know what rear end would be a good swap as this is the last piece of the drivetrain puzzle.
I have no problem getting parts from several trannies to piece together a good solid tranny that will be a joy to drive and reliable for years. I hate buying the wrong stuff.
Thanks for this site and thanks in advance for all your help.
Mike,
We need to know the shifter location so measure how far back from the bell housing to the best location for the shifter, then call to discuss.
Tom
hi i have a nova 70 inline everything is stock, plain simple i want to make it fast what parts should i start off with first i dont want to spent a lot of money yet
Hernan,
First, how much can you spend.
Check out our catalog, prices are listed.
Review some of the replies I have already given on similar questions and see what may fit for you.
What transmission? If a powerglide, start by adding an overdrive transmission, not a low cost item but best bang for your buck!
Tom
hello i have a 1972 gmc c25 w/ 292 I-6 i want to upgrade to a 2bbl i have a weber/holley progressive carb 32/36 will this work? is that the same 2bbl you sell? looks the same. im told its between 270-300cfm what jet size should i start with?
how much would it cost for the 1bbl to 2bbl adapter+shipping? thank you!
Kyle,
We sell the adapter on our web site, $15.00 + shipping.
The H/W you have should work however you may want to purchase our air cleaner, brushed or polished.
Bolt it up, get it running and see how it performs. Many times the jetting is fine.
Tom
hello me again i am wondering what model is your weber 2bbl you offer? is it a 32/36 or a 38/38? is it 80$ i have a 32/36 so if its the 38/38 i will probably order one at the same time i get the 1 to 2bbl adapter this week thank you so much!
Kyle,
Our Holley is a 32/36 or Holley model 5200 and is the one I would recommend.
The 38/38 is NOT a progressive type so it is TOO big for good driveability.
Tom
I have a stock 1974 Nova 250 6 cylinder, where can I get a replacement exhaust manifold? If no manifolds are available, any recommendation about headers?
Tom, will your stovebolt exhaust headers work for my Nova situation above? I’d like to order them if they work for me, I cant seemt to find an exhaust manifold that isnt rusted out
Tom,
I’m currently driving a 1950 chevy buisness coupe I would like to update the enclosed driveline with later model equipment, while retaining the three speed on the column any thoughts on trans. and rearend?
Matt,
I would use a rear axle from a 1983 – 1088 S-10 4WD with a 3.73 or 4.10 ratio.
The trans could be a Chevy Overdrive (3 speed + O.D.)
There were two designs.
1- 1955 – 1964 Non synchronized 1st gear
2- 1967 – 1972 Full synchronized “Saginaw”
Tom
Matt,
I agree with Tom about the rear end. Some more info for the trans is to check into a Borg Warner R10. It is a 3 speed manual with overdrive that will allow you to shift on the tree.
I have some concern with my 250 in my 78 Nova, these originally came with the integral head so I opted for a Jasper 250 without. My question is considering both power and fuel mileage. I have an Offy 4bbl intake and sitting on that USED to be a Holley 500cfm but with that setup I just couldn’t manage to get my rpms down enough and I was on average getting around 6 MPG! I finally decided on a 250cfm Holley which only got me up to about 15.5 MPG. My trans is the stock TH350 with a 2.73 ratio in the rear. Is there any way you may be able to advise me on the best method for obtaining close to 20 MPG without burning up my wallet and maintaining a decent amount of power?
One last thing, with the setup I have the throttle and transmission linkage to my carb don’t exactly work too smoothly, right now I have an Offy throttle cable kit which 90 degrees my cable to get to the carb correctly, is there any other kit out there that would work a lot smoother for this application? Thank You.
Mitchell,
I would use a THM 350 which uses a LOCK-UP torque convertor for improved fuel economy.
The best carb would be a 390 four barrel (195 CFM on the primaries)
The 350 CFM two barrel is a poor choice.
Make sure your Offy inlet manifold is heated.
Sorry, I can’t help with linkage.
Tom
Thank You very much for your insight, would you know by chance if there was a casing or size change aside from the wiring that may be an issue to bolt it right up, I’ve discovered two type some with a multi-fit and some w/o multi-fit. Thank You.
Hi Tom, I’m enjoying the dual carb set up and 5 speed transmission I got from you for my 1954 chevy panel , heres my questions, sometimes it will start to run rough I can remove the throttle linkage from either one of the carbs and it will run fine on the one , seems like my stock fuel pump won’t keep up ? Do they make a high volume mechanical pump ? Do you think I need one ? Or should I use an electric pump ? Thanks, keep it inline.
Will the motor mount kit (SKU 55-1108) work in a 53 Chevy car, the text states the photo is for trucks. Wanting to put a 250 engine in a 53 chevy 210 car?
I have a 230/250 straight 6 in my 1967 truck. I am building a rat rod project with it and i am considering stepping up the performance on the 6 instead of that tired overdone 350 drop in. any suggestions on a few upgrades that will increase my motor output that are relatively easy to install?
Tyler,
1- Switch to an overdrive transmission and perhaps change the axle ratio.
2- Add our split exhaust manifold
3- Replace your ignition with our GM HEI dist.
4- Change your inlet manifold to 1 x 4 bbl
The change you will “feel” the most is the overdrive, assuming you now have a powerglide or 3 speed.
Tom
Hi Tom. Regarding the 08-1015 monojet to 2 bbl carb adapter, Will this work with a 2bbl edelbrock 350-500 cfm carb? Its going on a 1980 292 that I’ve placed in my 1978 GMC C1500 sierra along with a 700R4 and the factory 2.76 rear gear.
Hi Tom ! can i use 235 rods in a 292 ? i want to ad compression . i look for pistons with smaller dish . no luck! if i can use the 235 rods and then mill down the pistons to make smaller dish volume and clear the head . or is there a better way to get 10.5:1 compression.
Eric,
We can supply an Offenhauser 4 BBL Manifold. $235.00 + shipping.
Your engine is most likly a 250 but after 38 years, anything could have happened.
Tom
Tom,
I recently bought an offenhauser valve cover for the 292 I’m building. However, this cover does not have a provision for a pcv setup. What would you recommend for adequate venting? I plan on buying your cast iron headers and finned side plates in a couple weeks.
Just picked up a 61 Biscayne with a six banger. The number on the top of the engine says 3836848. It doesnt show up anywhere I have checked in the books. The guy says it’s a 235, but it looks bigger than a 235. Do you have any ides what I have? Thanks.
HI,
I am going to buy Fenton exhaust for my 235 ci. What diameter exhaust pipes will need? I am also going to install a 2 carb manifold with the weber progressives. Also, any suggestions on muffler? I ran Flowmaster on another street rod and loved the sound but I am not sure what to put on a I8?
Tom S,
I recommend the Williams brand header for a better fit but bothe the Williams and Fenton take a 2″ O.D. front pipe. Mufflers are a personal choice for sound. Most Inliners like the sound of glass-pacs with little round holes on the inside.
Tom
Hi,
I have a 1955 235 engine out of a Chevy Bel-Air that I am putting into my 1946 chevy 1/2 ton pickup. I was wandering if there is a side motor mount kit for my application? I put in a Mustang 2 front end and had to cut out the front motor mount section on the crossmember. Any thoughts?
Sorry, we do ship to many different countries but our on-line system “at times” won’t allow the order to go through.
Please E-Mail us a list of the items you are interested in Year and type of vehicle, year and size of the engine and your full ship to address and we will get back to you.
Tom
Hi, i want to run a two-barrel on my chevy 250. Right now it has a single rochester. Stock besides an exhaust system. Any suggestions on a carb and adapter? Thanks
Tom, I am running a 194 6cyl in my 64 Nova and recently attempted to run dual Holley webbers (rebuilt used) on it with disappointing results. Install and linkage setup was fine, but I never could get the carbs to idle right. They kept wanting to run at 1500RPM at idle even with the idle screws adjusted all the way out. It also seemed to run too rich even when leaned out to only 1/8th out from full closed on the mix screws. I traced part of the problem to worn primary throttle shafts and removed the carbs since further tuning attempts would be useless. I am considering purchasing some replacment Holley Webber carbs and attempt this again. Question: Are the Holley webbers you sell too big for a 194 displacement to run as duals? Or are the Carter Webbers that are recomended a better chioce? Whats the difference between the two or what makes one better than the other? Currently I am running dual Holley 1bbl carbs that work decent but I am looking for a better performing carbs. I figured a a pair of 2bbl progressives would work better than two 1bbls..especially when I need the extra power from the secondaries. Your time and suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks for the reply Tom. Is there any chance that you could provide more pics of the Carter Webbers you sell?. I’d like to see the linkage side to get an idea of how these would be installed and hooked up. Can’t see it in the provided pic. I’ve never seen or tinkered with one of these before, so I’m not too familiar with em. Also, do you offer an air cleaner for these? I noticed the top air horn is different in shape than the Holley Webbers. The air cleaners shown that you sell look to have a diamond shaped hole more suited for the holley webbers while the carter webbers have more of a rectangular shape. Thanks, Matt
hi Tom on my 195 inline 6 it is stock ,if I run a offy with 4 barrel carb should i get my motor rebuilt ,,and if I run 2 small carbs do i need to rebuild my motor and how does the 2 carbs work like both work at the same time and do they need more adjustments down the road.
hi tom my 65 chevelle deluxe 300 has a 195 inline 6 ,if I run offy with a 4 barrel carb,, what make of carb should use ,,, ya I will getting headers too, thanks I just want to do it wright the first time
I used your motor mounts to put a 250ci inline six in my 53 Chevy pickup. I trimmed the drives side a grinders bladewidth in height and it went in beautifully. Thank you for your help.
if i used the t-5 transmission, in my 46 chevy truck ….216 3spd. do i have to change the bellhousing and the clutch disc or will the teeth on the shaft line up and the trans bolts line up??
I have a 1954 235 straight 6. I’m wanting to replace the single rochester with a dual carb setup with Carter/Webers. I currently have a manual choke and the Carter/Webers have electronic, What would be involved in setting up the electronic choke?
Tom,
I have decided to go ahead and throw the x2 Carter webers carbs on with a double intake. My next step will be to get a good transmission. After some research I found an 86 Camaro T-5, 5 speed transmission. I also found a 86 S10 T-5 5 speed transmission that is junked and the synchro on 2 gears are shot on.
I read somewhere that I could replace the tailshaft on the Camaro one with the one off of the S10 so that the shifter will have room in front on my bench seat instead on “IN” my bench seat. What is you input on this and what components do I need to get besides the Carter Weber carb set? I need the stovebolt linkage kit for the dual carbs correct?
So I decided to rebuild my 235 and was wondering on which carbs i should put on it. I was looking at your products and can’t settle on either the Dual carbs or the Double Barrel Single Carb w/ progressive. My engine is completely stock and was wondering if i would benefit from the duals or the single double progressive carb for gas mileage and maybe even a little boost in performance. The truck im doing this for is my 59 chevy apache 31. This is the first vehicle I ever owned and want it to be top notch. I am only 19 years old so my knowledge base isn’t the best but I am steadily learning. And by chance do you offer military discount on anything? I am in the US Army and thought I might just ask.
Thank You,
Sincerely,
SPC Kehoe, Noah
Noah,
The dual carbs will help make more power if you can afford the expense.
We do offer free shipping for active military.
Installing a S-10 5 speed overdrive transmission should be one of your top priority projects for you pick-up.
Tom
I took a look at the transmission (T5) sorry about the confussion on the automatic, I was looking over the details and this is a stick shift. I appreciate the information.
i found this T-5 near Fort Carson where I live. It says it for a Mustang GT so I take it that this is not the right one and it looks like it has an electric speedo cable on it.
Hi,
I have a 1959 chevy apache with a 235 with a manual trans. I am wondering what it would take to swap out the 235 for a 350 and what type of bell housing adapter i would need to bolt up to the original trans. And should I replace the trans or will the one in it do the job?
Hi,
I just talked to you this afternoon and ordered your motor mounts to install a 230 into my 1952 chevy 2 door sedan.
i was wondering if there was anything I need to do about the transmission crossmember. The transmission I’m using is a saginaw 3 speed out of a 63 chevy II or vette with a hurst mastershift floor shifter. Obviously the tail housing of the transmission won’t bolt directly to the cross member with some modification to the crossmember, but will I have to use a whole new crossmember or is there something I can do to the current one to make it fit?
Can your cast iron headers for the Chevy 292 be bolted to the engine with the stock intake manifold? Also, I want to put a 700R4 behind this engine which bolts directly on, but I am having a hard time finding the correct flex plate. Do you have one?
Tim,
Yes, our headers fit fine with the stock intake.
The 292 was never used with the 700R4 so there is no “correct” flywheel that you can buy. You will need to use a THM 350 flexplate and modify the bolt holes to the crank, or use a 292 flexplate and re-drill the holes for the 700R4 torque convertor.
Tom
I have a 1950 IH L-220 with a 240 intake (i don’t know if that matters). I want to convert to a weber. I am looking at ordering the adapter, carb, linkage, and electric choke. Your air cleaners are a bit to fancy for my truck so I’m going to get a simpler one else were if I can find one I like. I only have two questions. 1 Will this be a pretty much bolt on conversion or will some engineering need to be done. 2 what is the model of the carb you sell for the conversion so I can start looking for air cleaners. Thanks, Scott
i have a question : I have a 46 chevy 1/2 ton truck and want to change the rear, my question is, is there a product to change from torque tube to driveshaft or is there an adapter of some kind for the back of the transmission or for the front of the rear? to keep the torque tube? im kind of lost on this issue and want to finish up my project….. thanks
Kurt,
The most common conversion uses a ’55-’62 1/2 ton truck axle assembly or at least the center section. Another option would be to use a ’63-’67 1/2 ton axle assembly (6 lug wheels) with 3.73 ratio.
Combine this with a T-5 transmission from an ’83-’87 S-10 truck (with 2.8L V6 engine only ) and you will have a very nice combination.
Tom
if i was to use a GM T-5 transmission in my 46 chevy truck, would i have to use a different bell housing too?, im changing my rear to a 5 lug s-10 rear in order to get rid of the torque tube ,im running a 216 engine now, but will be swapping for an early 235, when I can round up all the parts, i just installed a new clutch and would i have to change out the clutch disc too? or will the teeth line up on the tranny shaft with the disc?……thanks
I have a 54 chevy 235 and bought a 78 chevy suburban 12 bolt rear end and it was 54″ backing plate to backing plate just had to re weld stock purchase and shock mounts worked out great and defenitly the t-5 i hate the 4 speed muncie i have right now use http://www.ringpinion.com randys calculators for final drive ratio this is all i do for a living AA Driveline Specialties Inc in anoka mn 763-427-2385 we make custom shafts up to 2000 hp from stock shafts to chromoly any questions dont hesitate to ask. tom you are always right on cue lol the biggest mistake i made was that 4 speed muncie!
I have a Inline 6 chevy 235 out of a 59 APACHE, but my truck is a 1953 Chevy P/U. The issue is that the 59 motor mounts were on the front biscuit style. Now my truck had the front piece were the front motor mount goes cut off.
I was told that the 235 has a mid mount option also that if i find a adapter kit it would work?
looking to purchase a Motor Mount Kit for my 1938 Chevy 1/2t truck, just wondering if you have one and if so would you be able to send me details on how i could purchase this as i live in ,Australia ,nsw and don’t have the option to order here or call due to time differences but do have paypal and would be happy to pay using this option if possible.
Sorry, but my supplier shows that the kit only fits 1940-1954 trucks. If you are using a 250 or 292 we could supply the engine brackets and cushion set ($100.00) + shipping.
Hello,
I have a 54 Bel air with the 235 motor with stock manifold, I would like to purchase the holley webber
progressive 2 barrel You guys sell. I would like to know if I needed to buy anything else besides the carb
and the adapter from 1 barrel to 2 barrel? Will the linkage match up?
hello i have chevy 250 that i want to put in a 53 belair. i have motor mount that came with the motor but i am missing the triangle shaped side mounts that attached to motor. Can you tell me what i need?
tom thanks for the quick response on shipping the 2/1 adapter.my quistion is i am working with 1972 250 6 cheve ;what would be the best way to get max cubic inchs,with out going to a292.thanks in advance.
Hello,
I was looking at the linkage for the rochester carburetor(s) i just have a few questions. 1. How many carbs is this linkage used for? 2. Is there instructions for the installation of the linkage.
I have a 1968 P10 Chevy step van with a 230 cid inline six. I put Pacesetter headers on it and am not happy with the amount of heat that is being generated. I have looked at your exhaust manifolds to switch to. Will these cut down on the heat situation and will they work with a offenhauser intake…Thanks for your time…Jamie
i need a 3 speed floor shifter for a stock 53 GMC 1/2 ton – the column shift is shot & doesnt work so a floor shift is all i can think of at this point.
Does any-one make 1 for a this truck ??
Thanks Ray
I just bought a 1950 2 door sedan. I was told it had a 235ci, but I’m not sure. I have to order some parts for it and want to make sure it is what I think it is. How can I tell the difference between a 235 and a 215?
From the Factory the 235 only came with cars with the Power glide Auto trans. If it had the Man. 3 on the tree it came from the Factory with the 215. hope that helps some. My 1950 2 door styleline is a Manual trans with the 215.
What model is your rebuilt weber carb that yo sell? DGEV? DFEV? ?, I have one that looks similar but not sure, I would like to be able to rebuild and purchase one of your adapters.
Hello, I have a 1972 Chevrolet 250. I put a 1967 292 intake and carb on it to do away with the emissions “stuff”. I set the timing at the factory 4 degrees advanced. I used the original size 72 jet in the carb. When i was using that jet, I would accelerate and it would sputter and die if i didnt let off. Like it was getting way too much fuel, or not enough. Assuming that this carburetor was jetted for the larger 292, I jetted it down quite a bit and its still almost as bad, even when its warmed up. This engine idles perfect. I DON’T know for sure that the fuel pump is good. Whats my problem?
You don’t say what kind of carburetor you have, but I had a similar problem when I still had the Rochester Monojet on my 250. When I installed the metering rod, I put the retaining spring on the bottom of the actuating arm. As the arm pulled the metering rod out of the jet, the spring pushed the rod back into the jet, cutting off the fuel needed to accelerate. After the spring was correctly placed on top of the arm, which pulled the metering rod tight to the arm, acceleration returned to normal.
I picked up a pair of your weber carbs and 2x offy intake in the winter for my project, started out I was going to use a 230, now I’m thinking a 292, can I still use the carbs?
I was worried because on the sheet provided it states that these dual carbs used on 250 or smaller applications. I won’t run out of CFM? Will I need bigger jets than ones provided?
I’m with this guy Tom. I’m the guy that was talking to you about trading out my McGurk intake. I have decided it’s just too pretty to part with so I am going to order two sets on your Webbers and use three of them and have a spare. Out of the box do you think I’ll need to do any thing to the Webbers. This was a 54 Chevy w/ a 235 with a little bit of a cam, McGurk 3 carb intake (just like yours Tom), and split headers.
Thanks Tom and I’ll be callin you with an order in a week or two.
Hi Tom,
I’m about ready to do the plumbing on my 56 235. I see that some people use bent metal pipes that they done themselves. My question is what do I need know to do this myself? (Etc. What type of metal, copper? Size of piping? Special tools, fittings needed? What would you do?) Thanks for any help.
I Have a IH silver diamond 220 that needs a new carb. It takes a holley 1904 I was wondering if the weber 2bbl adapter you sell would work on my manifold. The manifold is actually off a 240. I also would like to know if my weber 38 would work. Thank you.
Scott,
Yes, our adapter will work on your engine but I do not recommend the 38 mm Weber because it is not a progressive Carb (both barrels open together)
the Holly Weber 32/36 would be a better choice.
Tom
Tom,
I have a 1965 chevy 230 engine that is going in my 1953 chevy 1/2 ton pickup. Will this engine bolt up to my stock 3 speed or will I have to change trannies? If it will, is there a floor shifter available on the market? I plan to install a 200-4R later on. Thanks
Buddy
hey, im now rebuilding a 57 chevy 235 and would like to purchase the stovebolt mini HEI, the only thing i need to be sure of is that it will fit properly to drive my oil pump? Will it go in far enough to engage the pump and are there any modifications required to make it work? thank you for the help.
Hello. I have a 1964 Chevrolet C10. I recently bought a 1972 250 and i was going to use 1967 292 mounts and mount towers, but when i set the motor in I discovered the passenger side bolt pattern was different and the towers did not line up. I have the original 1972 mounts for this motor but not the mount towers. Do you have any idea what towers I need or have any alternate solutions? Thanks,
I was cleaning up a rocker arm set that I had planned on installing on the head that I just had hardened valve seats installed on. Unfortunately, There is some heavy wear on the underside of the shafts and a little scoring inside a couple of rocker arms. Do you sell replacement shafts and/or rocker arms or could you tell me where to find them?
Thanks,
Jay
P.S. I couldn’t be happier with the carbs and adapters I ordered from you last month, now if I could just get the engine together and running!
just trying to get my dual carbs set up, carter webers on the offy manifold. the spring force to open them is very high, and i thought i read somewhere i can remove some springs? is this right and if so what springs can i take off?
Howdy,
I have a 67 c10 that came with a 292 engine. I am putting a 46 stude m5 body on it. I would like to goto a 2 carb offy manifold, heat plate and headers in this truck.
Am i right so far with what i need?
What carburators should i be looking at? I was told rochesters are too big for multiple cars and just junk anyways. i was told a set of carter wa-1 carbs with a non progressive linkage will do the job great?
Thanks
Ed
I Have a problem with a distributor for Chevy 292..
I need one, I was told the 250 would fit, ” NOT ”
Every thing Gear Up Works, the lower part is to short to reach
the OIL PUMP..I used a Shaft out of a 1952 Engine and the lower
part reached the pump, but the top wont mount to block ?????
Thanks for any help or Info Bill
I think the parts you have are not what you think they are. Send pictures of the distributors and the engine to theboss@stoveboltengineco.com. I can resolve your issue.
Tom, I found and purchased a brand new 292 engine which I would like to install in my 1953 Chevy 210 two door sedan. Do you have the motor mounts required for this application? I need a set of headers and would very much like your recommendation for those.. Thanks in advance!
A Chevy 250 would be a very simple upgrade or a 292 could work but you would need a COMPLETE 292 including the passenger side motor and frame mount. (unique to 292)
Tom
Hey Tom,
I’ve got a ’52 Styleline Deluxe 2 Door with a 216/3 speed.
I’m going to be swapping in an early 60s 250, and was curious about your motor mount kits.
The current motor mounts appear to be welded in. If I buy your motor mount kit, do I just
need to cut my existing mounts off and drill the frame?
Thanks!
Ryan 406-690-9281
Tom, I have a 292 and I’m tired of having problems with clifford manifolds. I’m thinking of ordering a offy 5415 manifold and 9999 heat plate. Will this set-up clear the clifford shorty-type headers? Also, what carbs do you suggest I use with this manifold.
Tom, The 1st clifford was so warped that I couldn’t get it to seal, the second was leaking coolent so bad that after the engine was off for a couple of days, the manifold was almost completely full. I now have no faith in Clifford.
Hi, 69 Nova stock 250 with a powerglide. What would be better the adaptor to the 2 barrel progressive Weber carb or the Offenhauser with the 390 four barrel Holley? Do you have the trans linkage for either of these? Fresh engine with 10,000 miles on it.
Don
I need advice. I have a 250ci chevy in my 65 Nova. I would like to put those Stovebolt headers on it but I have heard that there might be an issue with the steering rubbing on the headers. Is this true? and if it is what can I do about it?
Thank you
Ken
I have your mini HEI and round coil on my 261. I notice that the directions call for a 10 gauge wire to the positive side of the coil. Why a 10 gauge? I currently have a 12 gauge from the ignition switch on a 12vdc system.
I have a 74 Camaro with an inline 250 and I purchased a “Kragen” replacement 1 BL and I am having all kinds of issues, now it seems like I am experiencing fuel starvation issues. I would like to purchase one of your 1BL->2BL adapters along with your Holly 2 BL, the motor is stock would there be a noticeable difference? The car is equipped with a 3 speed manual.
Thanks Tom, I will be placing my order for the adapter and carb on the 5th!! Is it possible to install a different manifold on the car (single carb setup) and gain a noticeable difference?
I really need to change the current setup the fuel starvation issue is a huge PITA right now.
Larry,
What exhaust manifold are you running? If you have changed to a non-factory exhaust manifold or headers, you need a heat plate bolted up to the bottom of the intake.
Bruce
I have a 261 with a single Rochester. Will replacing it with your holley-weber 2bbl help my mpg? Will the stock linkage work with your 1bbl to 2bbl adapter and holley-weber 2bbl?
I am looking for a water pump pulley for a chevy 292 straight six. The 292 was pulled apart and cleaned up, some how the water pump pulley got misplaced and now I am having a tough time locating one. Help anyone?
i’m thinking of upgrading my 63 chevy biscayne 230 with 2 2barrel carbs, split exhaust, electronic distributor, and putting a T-5 tranny behind it. anybody ever do this tranny behind a 6?
I own a 1961 Chevy K20 I am in the process of putting back together with the help of a 1960 C20 part donor truck. Both trucks have 235s and I am considering the following updates:
Mini HEI with Round Coil
Williams Cast headers
OFFY 2×1 Intake manifold with head plate
Dual Carter Weber Carbs (SKU 08-8011)
My questions are as follows:
1) Do you carry an alternator package for the 235 – brackets, plugs etc?
2) Does the OFFY intake use the stock gasket and alignment sleeves?
3) Is the price of $170 for the pair of Carter Weber Carbs or each carb?
4) Do you carry a linkage that will work for this setup?
5) Which air cleaners and filter element will work with the Carter Weber carbs?
Answers:
1) The bracket is available from Buffalo Enterprises (360-652-7684)
2) Yes
3) For a pair (2) – $170.00
4) Yes ($50.00)
5) Polished ($90.00 pr) or brushed ($60.00 pr) 7 1/2″
Tom, I have a ’69 C-20 chevy truck and am currently restoring it. I would like to improve the performance as much as I can without taking the engine apart. As of right now it is all factory and the carb on it needs to be replaced. Thinking dual carb? New exhaust manifold? I think it is a inline 292.
Hey tom found your site on a search engine. Ive got a 292 with a 3×1 offie and rochester carbs. Thing is they need a rebuild and I cant find a kit. Is there a way to convert my offie to accept 3 dueces?
We have carbs, adapters, linkage, and air cleaners to convert your Offy 3×1 intake. You may have an air cleaner clearance issue at the firewall. Call to discuss. (586-739-9601)
I bought a 1982 c10 and it has a great running 250 l6 with the integral head. My only problem is that 2 of the bolts on the exhaust manifold were snapped off and have been called “un repairable” can someone point me in the right direction. I have tried all the local junk yards and each one that I find has the same issue
Ryan,
If you remove the head then the two broken off bolts can be removed by “welding” them out or E.D.M.
I know this may not be practical but it is the only way.
You also may want to check flatness on the head and exhaust at this time.
Tom
Ryan,
If I understand your problem, you will need to remove the cylinder head to get the bolt out.
The bolt can be remove by:
- “Welding it out” with a Heli-Arc welder
- E.D.M. (Electro Discharge Machine)
These methods are 100% effective.
Tom
Hey tom i have a 292 and ive built at tripple side draft intake for it , the question that ive been getting a lot of different answers about but nothing realy ferm , ive read everywhere that you need a heated manifold to make these engines run correctly on a normal down draft carb for street uses , but some of the people ive talked to say since the side draft carb is a totally different animal that i wouldnt need to heat the manifold ,and if thats true why would the carb change if the manifold needs to be heated ? and since you have been around these motors forever i fugared you would be the person to ask .
Adapter 1 BBL to 2 BBL will this work on a 1954 Chev 235 engine? the engine is bored 60 over running a mild cam, williams headers and stock intake. I live in the mountains and the stock carb runs rich in the mountains and fine in the valleys. Would like a 2bbl where I could adjust jets to get a better running car.
Getting car ready for a long tour with the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America and would like to get better mileage. A friend has a 2BBL on a cliffords manifold and gained about 4mpg. An old timer living next to me said he used an adaptor on original manifold and got better mileage over the original carb.?
hi i am running a 1974 nova inline 250. i running a 4 bbl carb will be boring motor out and was wondering if there is any aftermarket head for that or do i have to reman my stock head??
I have a 292 I-6 I want to put in a rat rod. I’m using a 3.55 ford rear end and a t-5 trans. I want it to be a daily driver. What would you recommend as far as cam, intake, exhaust, etc.. I’m just looking for decent power without having to stop at ever gas station. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Brian,
Our Marine Cam would be a good choice with our cast iron headers and an OFFY 4 barrel or the OFFY dual Carb manifold with our dual Carter Weber two barrels.
Tom
i have 54 235 and im wanting to improve performance..heres what im think..fenton dual carb with adapters for carterweber carbs and heat plate for 235 and thermostat housing water spacer?? also thinking of getting fenton exhaust manifolds…
any advice or comments on this set up for my 235..
I have a 1963 230 chevy , stock cam , with a clifford intake and headers, and electronic ignition. Will the weber carbs you sell (single) work on my truck? Will it work well? Im looking for mileage.
Thanks!
Steven,
Our Weber carbs work well on a stock engine (140 H.P.) but work best in a dual carb application. Using a 2BBL on a 4 BBL manifold is not recommended. Is your Clifford manifold heated?
Tom
I have a 63 Chevy Nova with a 194 6 cylinder. I want to put the holley weber 2 barrel conversion on and wondered how much tuning is required out of the box and if so, where do I get main jets or pilot jets? Thanks
Hello, im updating a 54 chevy pickup with original straight six 235 and would like to get as much power out of it as i can. Could you suggest a good intake/ carb setup? would your 4bbl intake fit my engine? any help is much appreciated.
James,
I would recommend the Offy dual Carburetor manifold and the William’s brand dual cast iron headers.
There is no 4 BBL intake for the 235 (except Clifford)
Tom
I am buying an Offy 4 barrel manifold from a friend for my 1972 250 chevy six. it comes with a Holley 1850-1 carb which when I researched it online shows to be a 600 CFM carb. Is this carb too big for this engine? If so then what if I put an aftermarket cam in it?
Thanks!
James,
The 600 CFM Holley is TOO big for good drivability (300 CFM primaries).
You should use a 390 Holley or a 500 Edlebrock. The choice of camshaft will not change this.
Tom
I’m build a 292 for a lobster boat and i want to put a cam in it. i read online there is a langdon HO marine cam for the 292, and i was wondering what the price of it was and where i could buy one, thanks
Hello Tom, greetings from Australia,
I have a 46 GMC fitted with a (January 1956, head casting number 3836848) 235 blueflame.
1- I want to fit an offenhauser 2 x 1bl intake, which one should I order?
2- I alreay have 1 x 420s Carter, should I find another or fit twin Rochesters or can you recommend a better twin setup?
3 – I want to fit twin exhaust headers what do you recommend? Fentons or your Stovebolt Cast Iron Exhaust Headers?
4 – I want to fit a finned Offenhauser alloy valve cover but my head only has 4 hold down bolts for the cover, the only covers I can find are the early 2 bolts on the top or the 7 bolt. What can I use?
Your advice would be appreciated. Jayde
Jayde,
1- You should order our #10-1035
2- I would recommend our #08-8011 Carter Weber’s, Adapters, Linkage and Air Cleaners.
3- I would recommend our #42-0080 Fenton or Williams Brand Cast Iron headers.
4- The Offy usually comes with the two stud conversion kit to work with your cylinder head.
Tom
hi i was wondering i have a 1972 c25 gmc with a 292, im wondering whether your 2×1 intake with your carter carbs would produce better power and driveability, then your 4bbl intake witha 4bbl carb with 390-450cfm? which is better in your opinion for a truck? my motor is mostly stock except with clifford headers and dual 2.25in exhaust, is a manual 4 spd and has really deep gearing @ 5.13s. i would like the intake system to support the motor up to 5500rpms as a cam swap is in the future. thank you so much for any advice as im hung on which intake system to get!
I’m looking into fabbing a 4.3 throttle body off a Chevy manual Blazer onto a stock 194 intake manifold and plumbing the EGR valve into the stock manifold. I’m also wanting to split my stock manifold to run duel exhaust.
My question is; what exhaust pipe should I plumb the EGR valve into, front or rear.
We bought a Holley 5200 Carb off of you for our 66 Ford about a month ago. We need a low profile oval air cleaner for it. We figured that we have 3 inches of height from the top of the carb to the hood. Do you sell one?
Tom, Love the site, I appreciate the love for the I6! Anyway, on to my question. Im looking to Turbo Charge my 74 250 at about 1 bar(14 psi). What Id like to do is create a fuel injection system(maybe even TBI) so I could tune it a little easier. What Id really like to do, is port the intake manifold for fuel injectors. Any chance you have any literature or could lead me in the right direction? I know the tbi setup would be much easier, with just getting a 4brl intake manifold, and a tbi off a small block. But come on, wouldn’t a direct injected inline be a whole lot cooler? Thanks, Ben.
I have a Chevy 230 in a 76 Nova and it still has the stock one bbl on it and it is starving for fuel so I
would very much like to throw a two bbl on it. What carb do you recomend and what would I need to get it on to my stock intake manifold? Also I would like to get some headers for it and what would you recomend? And do I need a heat plate for the bottom of the manifold?
Jacob,
Our Holly Weber progressive two barrel will do a good job but you will need to re-mount your throttle cable and check for hood clearance.
Our cast iron headers would be your best choice for street use and with them you will need a heat plate to preserve good driveability.
Tom
I have your Offy Intake 2 x 2 for a 54 chevy. Considering buying the Fenton exhaust. Will the stock linkage work or do I need the Fenton linkage kit as well.
Hi,
How would your 2barrel into 1 and Holley carb work on a 230 Dodge flathead 6 with fluid drive? I understand it needs a dashpot/damper to keep the throttle from closing too quickly. Has this set up been done before?
Thanks.
Hi Tom
I am interested in some detail on the twin weber carbs, sku 08-8011
Can you provide:
* The original application (Chevette maybe or other?)
* Venturi sizes? (Primary and secondary)
* Throttle bore sizes?
* Main jet sizes? (Primary and secondary)
* Idle jet sizes?
* Main air bleed sizes?
Guessing these carbs are smaller than the 32/36 “2-liter Pinto” Weber?
Roger,
Our “Carter Weber” carbs are actually Weber model 32 DFT as used on 1983 Ford Escort. they are NEW and have all factory fuel calibration jet sizes. We have sold over 1000 of these carbs with excellent feed back on (Dual Carb) applications from 200 to 292 Cubic inch engines.
Tom
Tom you sound like the straight 6 guru. I have a 64 GMC pickup im reviving with a 230 l6. I got an HEI unit for her, also I have tubular headers for it, but im unsure about the carb, i have the stock 1bbl, but i also happen to own an offy 4bbl intake. with a stock 230, almost any 4 barrel is too much fuel, right? Is your 2bbl progressive with the stock intkae adapter the best way to go for throttle response?
Ron,
The Offy 4 BBL intake would be a good upgrade for your 230 but you definitely need our (HOT WATER) heat plate because your headers do not provide this feature.
A small 4 BBL carburetor would be your best choice. I would use an Edlebrock 500 or Holley 390.
Tom
Will the mid 50′s – mid 60′s early rochester 4 BBL carb work with the chevy six . They were called wcfb I think and had a very tiny CFM rating . They have that period correct look about them . Just curious ?
Mitch
Mitch,
The early Rochester was called the Model 4G (the WCFB was a small base Carter.) It could work okay if you are familiar with them and the carb was in good shape and was from an application with similar cubic inch. (use a 283 V8 carb on a 292.)
Tom
Dear Tom,
I bought a mini hei dizzy for my ponti 261 ci
can find everything but install info particularly plug gap?
can you email details please.
Do you have temp sender unit available please?
Merry Xmas Mick Young wodonga victoria australia
ps gear you sent in 2006 perrrrrrrrrrrrfect
I was wondering what is the best upgraded dual carb set up to install on my 54 chevy 235. I have the double carb Offenhauser intake, the old carbs don’t seem to be so good. I was looking at your carter-weber two barrel carb. Also do I need a adapter for the intake heat?
I’ve got a Offenhause DP Intake on a Ford 4.9l 300 cylinder. I am wanting to get a heat plate for the bottom of the intake. Would SKU 10-9999 water heat on a 250 work for the intake that I have? Or do you offer a heat plate setup for the Intake application I have? Please get back with me.
I have a stock Chevy 230 in a 64 Nova. Will the 1×4 Offy intake with Holly Weber 2bbl (and 2 to 4 bbl adapter) work with the stock exhaust? I was hoping to do the exhaust in the future.
hi my name is richard i will like to know if this hei would work for my 250 inline six for my 70 chevy c10 step side also is this everything i need for it as well if you can get back to me asap i would like to buy by this weekend 11/26/10 thank you
I need a bracket for my Chevy truck (1978) that holds the automatic transmission (TH350) kickdown /detent cable. They must have made them, can you help me? Thanks, John
I have a 66 6 cyl mustang with 200 engine all stock carb, ignition etc …
I m thinking about upgrading to progressive dual weber carb.
I ve read there s a few things to do on the throttle linkage and air filter (hood clearance issue) but as i understand the system on the mustang, i guess the ignitor had to be replace to (autolite orignial is vaccum driven by autolite 1100 carb) what ignitor will you suggest ?
Dawn,
I’m not familiar with FORD ignition but I would listen to the recommendations of the FOR 6 website.
Consider the original equipment FORD six electronic ignition as it is probably the best and most reliable.
Tom
Hi
I’m in the United Kingdom and have a Dodge 230 in-line six. How much will an Offenhauser dual intake and a set of cast headers cost me with shipping? thanks, Joe
Joe,
Prices are as follows:
Offy 2×1 $245.00
Ply Headers $325.00
Shipping est. $140.00
I also suggest our water heating plate for the intake $30.00.
We can Ceramic coat the headers for an additional $125.00
Do you want linkage? For what carbs?
Can you pay by Pay-Pal? (we will send a request when the order is finalized)
Please let us know.
Tom
Hello, I switched my Chevy 250 integral head engine for a non-integral one (1978). But I can’t find a detnet (kickdown) cable bracket. Anyone have one, know where to get one, or how to go about fabricating one? Thanks, John
I’D LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS 42-0070 HEADER WILL INSTALL ON A 70 230 NOVA 6 USING THE STOCK INTAKE 1 BARREL MANIFOLD. PLANNING ON UPGRADING TO DUAL EXHAUST FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE… ANY OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS?
Hi guys . Im looking at purchasing a set of your motor mounts for a 292 chev . On your order form it says to call you , but Im in Australia and the time difference makes it a bit difficult . Is there any way we can do the order via email ? I will also be getting the bolt kit as well . Thanks, Rob .
I have a 1950 Pontiac with a 239 ci flathead strait 6. I would like a dual carb intake manifold and would like to run 2 of the original Carter WA-1 717s carbs if possible. Will these manifolds fit my engine or are u able to fab one that will fit? Price? I have a stock exhaust manifold.
Hey Tom, I have an inline 6 230 with HEI in my truck. Would an offy 4bbl intake and a Holley 390 be a good upgrade? or is that too much carb for my engine?
Is your heat plates for the offy intakes as effective as the factory intake manifold? its cold up here in canada.
Are the motor mounts ( pictured ) for the 292 , or are these the same for the 230 ,250,292 . I was looking at the offset on one of the mounts . I have a 1951 3800 series 1 ton -looking to up date with a nice 250 that I have. Looks like it could save a lot of work. I figure I would use the 57 truck v-8 bellhousing and weld the tabs for the feet to bolt to – on to the existing crossmember- that way I dont have to remove that crossmember or worry about a rear trans mount.I would be able to keep my same drive shaft etc as well.
Mitch
The picture is a generic picture of our mounts. The 292 passenger side engine bracket is for the 292 only. The kit is for the 1/2 ton frame but can be easily adapted for your 1 ton frame.
THanks for the information. Are their any differences between the 1 ton pickup and the 1/2 ton frame ( at least up in the front area ???) ? I just assumed the axles were the only differences – again thanks
Mitch
Phil,
The Chevy 230 distributor will fit into the 235 engine BUT the gear and oil pump drive DO NOT align properly.
The gear will not engage fully and failure will result.
I recommend our MINI HEI. (Requires 12 volts)
Tom
Please call us at 586-739-9601. If we are not available to take your call please leave your name and number and we will give you a call back as soon as possible.
I need to replace my stock carburator on my 1969 Chevy Nova’s 250 inline 6 engine. The engine is all stock and the car is used as a weekend driver. What carb do u recommend,and would i need to install a mounting bracket. Also do u sell the aftermarket linklage or would i need to have it fabricated
Thanks for your help
Jon
Hi Tom I have a 63 Plymouth Valiant 225 slant six I’d Like to put the offenhauser 2×1 dual 1 barrel on it would your best carb choice mild head work small cam and headers
I am in the market for a carb, I was recomended to your website from justih.org I am going to put it in my Scout that has a 152 CI engine, your website changed a bit (and prices) and your 2 BBL carbs are now sold 2 at a time? Can I order just one? I would also be interested in your 1 BBL to 2 BBL adaptor.
Also what are shipping prices? I tried going halfway through the checkout to find them but couldn’t, my ZIP is 59037.
Miles,
The best dual carb set-up for your 230 would include the
Offy 2×1 inlet manifold ($235.00) ea.
Our Carter Weber Carbs, Carb adapters , Linkage, Air cleaners and heat plate ($340.00)
Tom
tom do you have a intake set up for the 235 with the carter weber carbs carb adapters linkage air cleaners and heat plate like miles orderd thanks good day !
Hello Tom! I’ve got a 1971 nova with a 250 and a powerglide. It has the rochester monojet carb, which i would like to replace. I’d like to keep the stock intake manifold. Do you sell any 1 or 2 bbl carbs that would bolt right up to my stock setup? Thank you in advance for your reply!
hi my name is jake and im looking for performance parts for my 54 chrysler flathead six, it has a 265. do you have any parts other than a distributer for it? thank you
We can custom make inlet or exhaust manifolds for the Chrysler 265 flathead. Call to discuss details and to order (586-739-9601). Pictures are available in our online catalog.
I am planning on buying from you for my 292 SKU42-0070 and SKU10-5416 and plan to use a 500 edlebrock will I need a heat plate and do you have linkage, this will all be going in my 50 chevy
hey i am planning on getting your 4bbl intake for my 250/ what carb do u guys recommend and will i be able to use my current linkage or will i need to get that as well?
There are no instructions with the manifold. The 4 bbl linkage type must be matched to the type of vehicle you have. It is sold seperate from the intake manifold. A picture or sketch will be provided.
Hey i want to buy your offy 4barrel intake manifold for my 292inline gm engine, and i was wondering what is the biggest carb you could run on it getting max performance without it bogging or anything. thanx Bill
A Holley 390 or Edlebrock 500 cfm will work great on your 292. It will also be required to heat your intake manifold with our heat plate or the factory exhaust manifold. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. NOTE: See tech tip on “Why you need to heat your manifold”.
Our part # 10-9999 will work on a 292. It attaches with the original 3 bolt holes like the factory exhaust manifold attaches to the factory intake manifold.
Hello, I am trying to fix up a 1964 Chevy Impala with a 250 straight six. Would your headers work with this motor (42-0070)? Also thinking about purchasing the Offi intake manifold 5416, what type of carb could I run off that intake. Thank You for your help.
I was referred to your site by FordSix. I would like to purchase, the 1bbl to 2bbl adapter for $15 , a holley-weber 2bbl for $75 dollars plus $12 for an electric choke. Could you call me so that I could order these products. My name is Jason Proper.
Wanted to know if you have anything for a 68 chevy Impala Inline 6. I am looking for a Carb, Right now it has a 1bbl and i would like to change it to a 2 bbl. Anything in stock
By Mike, January 4, 2012 @ 1:40 am
Hey Tom,
Will SKU 08-1015 the 1 barrel to 2 barrel adapter work with what I want to do? I have a weber 32/36 DGAV carb trying to adapt it to my 1967 Nova 230 inline 6 stock 1 barrel intake manifold. It has the 2 bolt pattern.
Thanks,
Mike
By Tom, January 9, 2012 @ 4:50 pm
Mike,
Yes, it will work with your Webber D6AV and you should NOT need a linkage kit because your D6AV opens the same direction as your original carb.

i have a 77 250 with integrated intake, it has a mono jet i may want a weber, the engine has rv came 30 over with forged pistons and gear drive will the 2 barrel adapter work, and what carb should i use
By Tom, January 18, 2012 @ 12:44 pm
Justin,
The Holley Weber would be a good choice but we do not sell linkage for your vehicle.
We only have around 8 left to sell, then we will no longer handle them.

Tom: Will this correctly fit up to my DODGE Power Wagon, WM300, 251 flathead with my stock intake manifold? Is there an available set of collectors and downpipes for these to the stock exhaust, or would I have to go custom from them back to the can?? Thanks.
By Tom, January 18, 2012 @ 12:41 pm
Dave
Our headers will NOT provide heat to your stock inlet manifold and they will not bolt up to your stock exhaust.
Most users have dual exhaust pipes made at an exhaust shop.

Hi Tom
Can you estimate the approximate increase in power (percentage wise) from a 292 engine when using your cast iron split headers.
Thank you
Neil
By Tom, January 6, 2012 @ 8:02 am
Neil,
About 10-15 H.P. depending on what mufflers you use.

Hello Tom,
and Merry christmas! I have a ’78 250 with a 1bbl.am lookin for a 2bbl intake.can’t seem to find anything in salvage anymore. Got anything of the sort?? thanks,Allen
By Tom, January 3, 2012 @ 5:32 pm
Allen,
There were NO two barrel intakes made in the USA.
We have a few OFFY 1 x 4 intakes ($240.00) that work very well with a Holley 390 or Edlebrock 500.
You also could convert to a 2 barrel on your factory intake if hood clearance isn’t a problem.

By Philip Troost, December 28, 2011 @ 3:21 pm
Hi Tom, Your motor mount kit, as I understand will facilitate the 216 to 292 swap I want to do. Is the kit the same for trucks and cars or are there different kits? I am swapping on a 42 stylemaster coupe and putting a th350 behind the 292. Also what am I going to run into as far as a trans mount? Thanks in advance for your time.
By Tom, December 30, 2011 @ 2:23 pm
Philip,
There are different kits for different applications which we will review when you order.
We are however, discontinuing the mounts soon, so please order ASAP (after Jan 1st.)

I have a 54 chevy pickup with a inline 6 & three speed transmission. I want to install a 1962 194 inline 6 motor but still use that same 54 transmission & rear end. Is there a special bell housing to match up the motor & transmission?
Thanks,
Drew
By Tom, December 30, 2011 @ 2:47 pm
Drew,
You could user the 194 bell housing but you would loose the rear mounts.
This would not be a good swap.

my 1954 chevy truck has a 235 engine that does not have an oil filter. do you have a oil filter housing kit? i can probably get a filter head at tennessee filter. where should i plumb it on the driver side of the block?thank you
By Tom, December 16, 2011 @ 4:19 pm
Leslie,
The 1954 235 engine did NOT have a real oil filter from the factory however dealers often installed a “partial flow” 10% or “bypass” filter.
These are NOT really a functional filter and don’t do much.
If you want a good used one, call to order.
Tom

the engine in my 1954 chevy truck has the casting number of 3769716 with a date code E 10-2 so it is suppossed to be a 1962 235.I would like to replace the 3speed transmission with a 5speed overdrive transmission out of a s10 truck-any suggestions
By Tom, January 18, 2012 @ 1:19 pm
Leslie,
This would be an excellent choice.
You will need an open driveline with about a 3.70 axle ratio to go with the 5 speed overdrive from a 1983 – 1987 S-10 truck (WITH A 2.8L V6 ONLY).
Tom
By Tom S, November 11, 2011 @ 9:07 am
HI Tom,
I spoke with you about putting a 2004R in my 50′ 3100. I never thought to ask what to do about supporting the rear of the engine when the stock bell housing is removed. I know I will need a transmission mount for the 200 4R but is seem like that the torque from the motor will make it tip over? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tom S
By Tom, November 14, 2011 @ 2:53 pm
Tom,
Yes, you will need to fabricate mounts off of the transmission – to – adapter plate bolts to control the engine torque.

By Tom, December 20, 2011 @ 2:28 pm
Leslie,
You need a 1983 – 1987 S-10 T-5 from a 2.8L V6 equipped pick-up.
This will have a 3.76 1st gear and a .73 overdrive.
I recommend a 3.73 axle ratio in combination with this transmission.
Tom
By Tom, November 7, 2011 @ 2:30 pm
Chally,
The dual carb set up is the best but it costs more but the single Holly Weber carb makes a nice affordable upgrade.
The S-10 5 speed overdrive manual transmission, is the simplest overdrive conversion.
Tom
By Rob Mantell, November 6, 2011 @ 1:25 pm
Hi!!
I have a 292ci that has a cobbled together accessory bracket system. It has been modded to run a stock GM power steering pump, and the truck (64 longbed fleetside) is sitting on a 73′ 3/4 ton Chevy frame. What I really need to find is a pulley and bracket set up to run power steering and alternator. Do you guys have something like this or know where I need to look? The problem I am running into is that I cannot get the alternator belt tensioned enough to charge the system properly or reliably. I would like to get away from just making do and put together a quality system for it in one shot, one that works.

By Vic Enns, November 8, 2011 @ 4:06 pm
Tom,
I’m replying this route because I’ve not tried emailing you before so don’t know how to start a conversation when asking you for advice.
I also have a rebuilt 292 that I’ve installed in a 38 chevy trk; I bought a triple intake and a split exhaust manifolds from you but I need a starting point to put fuel jets in the three 1-barrel rochester carbs.
It seem’s like I once read that you ended up with a 0.042 for the primary carb and 0.032 in the two secondary carbs.
Would you comment on a size of jets that you have exiperence so that I have a start point?
You were right the offenhouser linkage was not what I needed for this set up.
Vic
By Tom, November 9, 2011 @ 1:38 pm
Vic,
Original jet sizes should be the place where you start but your (USED??) carbs may not have original jets.
Sorry, I do not know exactly what to recommend.

Hi Tom,
I need T5 advise.
I have a 1963 Chevy ii, nova, ss that came with a 194 and a floor shift powerglide. The 1963 chevy ii has the wider bucket seats which are almost like bench seats.
I am currently building an engine for the car. The motor is a 1969 chevy truck 250 with lump port heads, holley 390 double pumper with mechanical secondaries, offy intake, hei dist., and soon I will order your headers and heat plate and install a 2 inch diameter dual exhaust with glass packs.
I am looking for a t5 tranny per your recommendations posted on this site. I already have a new 153 tooth flywheel and a 10-1/2 inch performance clutch setup.
My questions are:
1) What year/style T5 tranny will be the best to look for?
2) Will I have to cut the floor or just purchase the floor hump four speed hole (I do not want to modify the floor if I don’t have to)?
3) I have no idea what hp or torque I will be making but I listed the engine build specs so you could advise if I can use a t5 from a six cylinder to handle the mods listed above or do I need a WC?
4) I have a 309 bell housing and plan on using the mechanical clutch linkage but does this limit the year and eliminate V8 trannies for my set up (the splines are different so I know I need a new clutch plate, but the twited mount seems like a problem to me)?
5) When you recommend a tranny, please let me know what rear end would be a good swap as this is the last piece of the drivetrain puzzle.
I have no problem getting parts from several trannies to piece together a good solid tranny that will be a joy to drive and reliable for years. I hate buying the wrong stuff.
Thanks for this site and thanks in advance for all your help.
By Tom, November 7, 2011 @ 2:21 pm
Mike,
We need to know the shifter location so measure how far back from the bell housing to the best location for the shifter, then call to discuss.

By Tom, November 4, 2011 @ 2:33 pm
Hernan,
First, how much can you spend.
Check out our catalog, prices are listed.
Review some of the replies I have already given on similar questions and see what may fit for you.
What transmission? If a powerglide, start by adding an overdrive transmission, not a low cost item but best bang for your buck!

hello i have a 1972 gmc c25 w/ 292 I-6 i want to upgrade to a 2bbl i have a weber/holley progressive carb 32/36 will this work? is that the same 2bbl you sell? looks the same. im told its between 270-300cfm what jet size should i start with?
how much would it cost for the 1bbl to 2bbl adapter+shipping? thank you!
By Tom, November 4, 2011 @ 2:25 pm
Kyle,
We sell the adapter on our web site, $15.00 + shipping.
The H/W you have should work however you may want to purchase our air cleaner, brushed or polished.
Bolt it up, get it running and see how it performs. Many times the jetting is fine.
Tom
By kyle smith, November 9, 2011 @ 8:07 pm
hello me again i am wondering what model is your weber 2bbl you offer? is it a 32/36 or a 38/38? is it 80$ i have a 32/36 so if its the 38/38 i will probably order one at the same time i get the 1 to 2bbl adapter this week thank you so much!
By Tom, November 10, 2011 @ 2:01 pm
Kyle,
Our Holley is a 32/36 or Holley model 5200 and is the one I would recommend.
The 38/38 is NOT a progressive type so it is TOO big for good driveability.

I’m currently driving a 1950 chevy buisness coupe I would like to update the enclosed driveline with later model equipment, while retaining the three speed on the column any thoughts on trans. and rearend?
By Tom, October 27, 2011 @ 4:16 pm
Matt,
I would use a rear axle from a 1983 – 1088 S-10 4WD with a 3.73 or 4.10 ratio.
The trans could be a Chevy Overdrive (3 speed + O.D.)
There were two designs.
1- 1955 – 1964 Non synchronized 1st gear
2- 1967 – 1972 Full synchronized “Saginaw”
Tom
By Les, October 30, 2011 @ 9:37 pm
Matt,
I agree with Tom about the rear end. Some more info for the trans is to check into a Borg Warner R10. It is a 3 speed manual with overdrive that will allow you to shift on the tree.
Les
By Tom, October 31, 2011 @ 2:36 pm
OK,
Tom
By Mitchell, October 17, 2011 @ 9:02 pm
Tom,
I have some concern with my 250 in my 78 Nova, these originally came with the integral head so I opted for a Jasper 250 without. My question is considering both power and fuel mileage. I have an Offy 4bbl intake and sitting on that USED to be a Holley 500cfm but with that setup I just couldn’t manage to get my rpms down enough and I was on average getting around 6 MPG! I finally decided on a 250cfm Holley which only got me up to about 15.5 MPG. My trans is the stock TH350 with a 2.73 ratio in the rear. Is there any way you may be able to advise me on the best method for obtaining close to 20 MPG without burning up my wallet and maintaining a decent amount of power?
One last thing, with the setup I have the throttle and transmission linkage to my carb don’t exactly work too smoothly, right now I have an Offy throttle cable kit which 90 degrees my cable to get to the carb correctly, is there any other kit out there that would work a lot smoother for this application? Thank You.
By Tom, October 19, 2011 @ 3:25 pm
Mitchell,
I would use a THM 350 which uses a LOCK-UP torque convertor for improved fuel economy.
The best carb would be a 390 four barrel (195 CFM on the primaries)
The 350 CFM two barrel is a poor choice.
Make sure your Offy inlet manifold is heated.
Sorry, I can’t help with linkage.
Tom
By Mitchell, October 24, 2011 @ 10:30 pm
Thank You very much for your insight, would you know by chance if there was a casing or size change aside from the wiring that may be an issue to bolt it right up, I’ve discovered two type some with a multi-fit and some w/o multi-fit. Thank You.
By Tom, October 28, 2011 @ 3:03 pm
Mitchell,
The 200 4R transmission used a multi fit bolt pattern.
Tom
By Tom, November 1, 2011 @ 5:04 pm

Do they make a high volume mechanical pump ? Do you think I need one ? Or should I use an electric pump ? Thanks, keep it inline.

By Tom, October 18, 2011 @ 4:57 pm
Tyler,
1- Switch to an overdrive transmission and perhaps change the axle ratio.
2- Add our split exhaust manifold
3- Replace your ignition with our GM HEI dist.
4- Change your inlet manifold to 1 x 4 bbl
The change you will “feel” the most is the overdrive, assuming you now have a powerglide or 3 speed.

The Offy valve cover is defective in design.
The best use for it is to hang it up on a wall.

Your 3836848 casting is a cylinder head part number and is correct for a 1961 235 engine.

Thanks Tom S
By Tom, September 26, 2011 @ 10:32 pm
Tom S,
I recommend the Williams brand header for a better fit but bothe the Williams and Fenton take a 2″ O.D. front pipe. Mufflers are a personal choice for sound. Most Inliners like the sound of glass-pacs with little round holes on the inside.

Our Holley Weber makes a nice upgrade (for a truck) but may have hood clearance issues on a passenger car.
By Matt, September 6, 2011 @ 5:31 pm
Tom, I am running a 194 6cyl in my 64 Nova and recently attempted to run dual Holley webbers (rebuilt used) on it with disappointing results. Install and linkage setup was fine, but I never could get the carbs to idle right. They kept wanting to run at 1500RPM at idle even with the idle screws adjusted all the way out. It also seemed to run too rich even when leaned out to only 1/8th out from full closed on the mix screws. I traced part of the problem to worn primary throttle shafts and removed the carbs since further tuning attempts would be useless. I am considering purchasing some replacment Holley Webber carbs and attempt this again. Question: Are the Holley webbers you sell too big for a 194 displacement to run as duals? Or are the Carter Webbers that are recomended a better chioce? Whats the difference between the two or what makes one better than the other? Currently I am running dual Holley 1bbl carbs that work decent but I am looking for a better performing carbs. I figured a a pair of 2bbl progressives would work better than two 1bbls..especially when I need the extra power from the secondaries. Your time and suggestions would be appreciated.
By Tom, September 12, 2011 @ 2:12 pm
Matt,
Our Carter Weber’s are NEW (not rebuilt) and a better choice.
Tom
By Matt, September 20, 2011 @ 11:03 am
Thanks for the reply Tom. Is there any chance that you could provide more pics of the Carter Webbers you sell?. I’d like to see the linkage side to get an idea of how these would be installed and hooked up. Can’t see it in the provided pic. I’ve never seen or tinkered with one of these before, so I’m not too familiar with em. Also, do you offer an air cleaner for these? I noticed the top air horn is different in shape than the Holley Webbers. The air cleaners shown that you sell look to have a diamond shaped hole more suited for the holley webbers while the carter webbers have more of a rectangular shape. Thanks, Matt

hi Tom I was asking about 4 barrel carb its for my 194 motor ( I put 195 )
By colin, August 31, 2011 @ 10:32 pm
hi Tom on my 195 inline 6 it is stock ,if I run a offy with 4 barrel carb should i get my motor rebuilt ,,and if I run 2 small carbs do i need to rebuild my motor and how does the 2 carbs work like both work at the same time and do they need more adjustments down the road.

By Scott Snow, August 15, 2011 @ 2:04 pm
I used your motor mounts to put a 250ci inline six in my 53 Chevy pickup. I trimmed the drives side a grinders bladewidth in height and it went in beautifully. Thank you for your help.

Hi,
I have a 1954 235 straight 6. I’m wanting to replace the single rochester with a dual carb setup with Carter/Webers. I currently have a manual choke and the Carter/Webers have electronic, What would be involved in setting up the electronic choke?
Thanks,
Darren.
By Tom, August 10, 2011 @ 3:05 pm
Darren,
You need to run a wire to (both) chokes from the ignition “ON” terminal.
Tom
By Noah, August 10, 2011 @ 6:57 am
Tom,
I have decided to go ahead and throw the x2 Carter webers carbs on with a double intake. My next step will be to get a good transmission. After some research I found an 86 Camaro T-5, 5 speed transmission. I also found a 86 S10 T-5 5 speed transmission that is junked and the synchro on 2 gears are shot on.
I read somewhere that I could replace the tailshaft on the Camaro one with the one off of the S10 so that the shifter will have room in front on my bench seat instead on “IN” my bench seat. What is you input on this and what components do I need to get besides the Carter Weber carb set? I need the stovebolt linkage kit for the dual carbs correct?
Sincerely,
Kehoe, Noah
By Noah, August 9, 2011 @ 3:05 am
So I decided to rebuild my 235 and was wondering on which carbs i should put on it. I was looking at your products and can’t settle on either the Dual carbs or the Double Barrel Single Carb w/ progressive. My engine is completely stock and was wondering if i would benefit from the duals or the single double progressive carb for gas mileage and maybe even a little boost in performance. The truck im doing this for is my 59 chevy apache 31. This is the first vehicle I ever owned and want it to be top notch. I am only 19 years old so my knowledge base isn’t the best but I am steadily learning. And by chance do you offer military discount on anything? I am in the US Army and thought I might just ask.
Thank You,
Sincerely,
SPC Kehoe, Noah
By Tom, August 9, 2011 @ 2:17 pm
Noah,
The dual carbs will help make more power if you can afford the expense.
We do offer free shipping for active military.
Installing a S-10 5 speed overdrive transmission should be one of your top priority projects for you pick-up.
Tom
By noah, August 9, 2011 @ 2:39 pm
I’m trying avoid losing my stick shift. Is there a certain transmission that is not automatic which will fit? And would the duals help with MPG?
By Noah, August 10, 2011 @ 2:28 am
I took a look at the transmission (T5) sorry about the confussion on the automatic, I was looking over the details and this is a stick shift. I appreciate the information.
Sincerely,

Hi,
I have a 1959 chevy apache with a 235 with a manual trans. I am wondering what it would take to swap out the 235 for a 350 and what type of bell housing adapter i would need to bolt up to the original trans. And should I replace the trans or will the one in it do the job?
By Tom, August 15, 2011 @ 3:28 pm
Noah,
The factory used the V8 in the 1959 pick Up so all parts would be available.
We do not work on or advise on V8 projects.

By Ryan, August 3, 2011 @ 9:48 pm
Hi,
I just talked to you this afternoon and ordered your motor mounts to install a 230 into my 1952 chevy 2 door sedan.
i was wondering if there was anything I need to do about the transmission crossmember. The transmission I’m using is a saginaw 3 speed out of a 63 chevy II or vette with a hurst mastershift floor shifter. Obviously the tail housing of the transmission won’t bolt directly to the cross member with some modification to the crossmember, but will I have to use a whole new crossmember or is there something I can do to the current one to make it fit?
By Tom, August 26, 2011 @ 2:23 pm
Ryan,
Sorry, I have never done this combination.
Tom
By Tim, July 30, 2011 @ 9:39 am
Can your cast iron headers for the Chevy 292 be bolted to the engine with the stock intake manifold? Also, I want to put a 700R4 behind this engine which bolts directly on, but I am having a hard time finding the correct flex plate. Do you have one?
By Tom, August 3, 2011 @ 5:07 pm
Tim,
Yes, our headers fit fine with the stock intake.
The 292 was never used with the 700R4 so there is no “correct” flywheel that you can buy. You will need to use a THM 350 flexplate and modify the bolt holes to the crank, or use a 292 flexplate and re-drill the holes for the 700R4 torque convertor.
Tom
By Scott, July 27, 2011 @ 8:41 am
I have a 1950 IH L-220 with a 240 intake (i don’t know if that matters). I want to convert to a weber. I am looking at ordering the adapter, carb, linkage, and electric choke. Your air cleaners are a bit to fancy for my truck so I’m going to get a simpler one else were if I can find one I like. I only have two questions. 1 Will this be a pretty much bolt on conversion or will some engineering need to be done. 2 what is the model of the carb you sell for the conversion so I can start looking for air cleaners. Thanks, Scott

i have a question : I have a 46 chevy 1/2 ton truck and want to change the rear, my question is, is there a product to change from torque tube to driveshaft or is there an adapter of some kind for the back of the transmission or for the front of the rear? to keep the torque tube? im kind of lost on this issue and want to finish up my project….. thanks
By Tom, July 23, 2011 @ 3:09 pm
Kurt,
The most common conversion uses a ’55-’62 1/2 ton truck axle assembly or at least the center section. Another option would be to use a ’63-’67 1/2 ton axle assembly (6 lug wheels) with 3.73 ratio.
Combine this with a T-5 transmission from an ’83-’87 S-10 truck (with 2.8L V6 engine only ) and you will have a very nice combination.
Tom
By kurt, August 22, 2011 @ 11:26 am
if i was to use a GM T-5 transmission in my 46 chevy truck, would i have to use a different bell housing too?, im changing my rear to a 5 lug s-10 rear in order to get rid of the torque tube ,im running a 216 engine now, but will be swapping for an early 235, when I can round up all the parts, i just installed a new clutch and would i have to change out the clutch disc too? or will the teeth line up on the tranny shaft with the disc?……thanks

I have a Inline 6 chevy 235 out of a 59 APACHE, but my truck is a 1953 Chevy P/U. The issue is that the 59 motor mounts were on the front biscuit style. Now my truck had the front piece were the front motor mount goes cut off.
I was told that the 235 has a mid mount option also that if i find a adapter kit it would work?
Does the one carry work for this dilemma???

I just bought a 1950 2 door sedan. I was told it had a 235ci, but I’m not sure. I have to order some parts for it and want to make sure it is what I think it is. How can I tell the difference between a 235 and a 215?
By Eugene, August 7, 2011 @ 7:27 pm
From the Factory the 235 only came with cars with the Power glide Auto trans. If it had the Man. 3 on the tree it came from the Factory with the 215. hope that helps some. My 1950 2 door styleline is a Manual trans with the 215.
By Tom, August 9, 2011 @ 2:09 pm
Thank you Eugene.

Our cars are the DFEV type (Holley #5200 model) as used on the Pinto. Our adapters will fit your DGEV type also.

Hello, I have a 1972 Chevrolet 250. I put a 1967 292 intake and carb on it to do away with the emissions “stuff”. I set the timing at the factory 4 degrees advanced. I used the original size 72 jet in the carb. When i was using that jet, I would accelerate and it would sputter and die if i didnt let off. Like it was getting way too much fuel, or not enough. Assuming that this carburetor was jetted for the larger 292, I jetted it down quite a bit and its still almost as bad, even when its warmed up. This engine idles perfect. I DON’T know for sure that the fuel pump is good. Whats my problem?
Thanks,
Blain
By Steve Carey, June 22, 2011 @ 7:00 pm
You don’t say what kind of carburetor you have, but I had a similar problem when I still had the Rochester Monojet on my 250. When I installed the metering rod, I put the retaining spring on the bottom of the actuating arm. As the arm pulled the metering rod out of the jet, the spring pushed the rod back into the jet, cutting off the fuel needed to accelerate. After the spring was correctly placed on top of the arm, which pulled the metering rod tight to the arm, acceleration returned to normal.
By Miles, May 25, 2011 @ 10:10 am
I picked up a pair of your weber carbs and 2x offy intake in the winter for my project, started out I was going to use a 230, now I’m thinking a 292, can I still use the carbs?
By Tom, May 25, 2011 @ 1:47 pm
Yes, you can use them.
Tom
By Miles, May 25, 2011 @ 1:51 pm
I was worried because on the sheet provided it states that these dual carbs used on 250 or smaller applications. I won’t run out of CFM? Will I need bigger jets than ones provided?
By Devlin, May 30, 2011 @ 2:56 pm
I’m with this guy Tom. I’m the guy that was talking to you about trading out my McGurk intake. I have decided it’s just too pretty to part with so I am going to order two sets on your Webbers and use three of them and have a spare. Out of the box do you think I’ll need to do any thing to the Webbers. This was a 54 Chevy w/ a 235 with a little bit of a cam, McGurk 3 carb intake (just like yours Tom), and split headers.
Thanks Tom and I’ll be callin you with an order in a week or two.
By Tom, June 25, 2011 @ 12:24 am
The Carter Webers work excellently out of the box.

I Have a IH silver diamond 220 that needs a new carb. It takes a holley 1904 I was wondering if the weber 2bbl adapter you sell would work on my manifold. The manifold is actually off a 240. I also would like to know if my weber 38 would work. Thank you.
By Tom, May 11, 2011 @ 1:36 pm
Scott,
Yes, our adapter will work on your engine but I do not recommend the 38 mm Weber because it is not a progressive Carb (both barrels open together)
the Holly Weber 32/36 would be a better choice.
Tom
By Scott, May 15, 2011 @ 9:47 am
Thanks For the reply. the 38 will just be temporary cus I have one on hand and the carb on it is broke

Hi Tom,
I was cleaning up a rocker arm set that I had planned on installing on the head that I just had hardened valve seats installed on. Unfortunately, There is some heavy wear on the underside of the shafts and a little scoring inside a couple of rocker arms. Do you sell replacement shafts and/or rocker arms or could you tell me where to find them?
Thanks,

P.S. I couldn’t be happier with the carbs and adapters I ordered from you last month, now if I could just get the engine together and running!

Am i right so far with what i need?
What carburators should i be looking at? I was told rochesters are too big for multiple cars and just junk anyways. i was told a set of carter wa-1 carbs with a non progressive linkage will do the job great?

Tom, I found and purchased a brand new 292 engine which I would like to install in my 1953 Chevy 210 two door sedan. Do you have the motor mounts required for this application? I need a set of headers and would very much like your recommendation for those.. Thanks in advance!
By Tom, April 26, 2011 @ 11:28 pm
Yes, we have the mounts to install a 292 into your ’53 passenger car. You will need to move your radiator forward.
Yes, we can supply cast iron headers.

By Tom, April 26, 2011 @ 11:37 pm
A Chevy 250 would be a very simple upgrade or a 292 could work but you would need a COMPLETE 292 including the passenger side motor and frame mount. (unique to 292)

Hey Tom,
I’ve got a ’52 Styleline Deluxe 2 Door with a 216/3 speed.
I’m going to be swapping in an early 60s 250, and was curious about your motor mount kits.
The current motor mounts appear to be welded in. If I buy your motor mount kit, do I just
need to cut my existing mounts off and drill the frame?
Thanks!
Ryan 406-690-9281

Yes, you will need to remove the original frame mounts.
I think they were originally riveted to the frame.

Tom, I have a 292 and I’m tired of having problems with clifford manifolds. I’m thinking of ordering a offy 5415 manifold and 9999 heat plate. Will this set-up clear the clifford shorty-type headers? Also, what carbs do you suggest I use with this manifold.
By Tom, April 17, 2011 @ 8:28 pm
I think the Offy Manifold will clear the Clifford shorty exhaust.
What is your problem with your Clifford? Maybe I can help you fix it.
I would use two of our “Carter Weber” OR “Holley Weber” progressive two barrels for good power and best driveability.
By Craig, April 17, 2011 @ 8:43 pm
Tom, The 1st clifford was so warped that I couldn’t get it to seal, the second was leaking coolent so bad that after the engine was off for a couple of days, the manifold was almost completely full. I now have no faith in Clifford.
By Don, April 7, 2011 @ 11:35 pm
Hi, 69 Nova stock 250 with a powerglide. What would be better the adaptor to the 2 barrel progressive Weber carb or the Offenhauser with the 390 four barrel Holley? Do you have the trans linkage for either of these? Fresh engine with 10,000 miles on it.
Don
By Tom, June 24, 2011 @ 11:45 pm
The Offy and a small 4 BBL. Sorry, no linkage.
By Ken Hildreth, April 7, 2011 @ 11:54 am
I need advice. I have a 250ci chevy in my 65 Nova. I would like to put those Stovebolt headers on it but I have heard that there might be an issue with the steering rubbing on the headers. Is this true? and if it is what can I do about it?
Thank you
Ken
By Tom, June 24, 2011 @ 11:41 pm
Our cast iron headers will fit with no problem.
By Nick, April 3, 2011 @ 1:37 am
Tom,
Will the williams cast headers fit /work with a 1953 Corvette intake manifold?
By Tom, April 4, 2011 @ 12:36 pm
Nick,
Yes, the Williams headers will work with the Corvette intake.
You will also need a heat plate to heat the intake manifold.
Tom

I have your mini HEI and round coil on my 261. I notice that the directions call for a 10 gauge wire to the positive side of the coil. Why a 10 gauge? I currently have a 12 gauge from the ignition switch on a 12vdc system.
By Larry R, March 27, 2011 @ 1:56 am
I have a 74 Camaro with an inline 250 and I purchased a “Kragen” replacement 1 BL and I am having all kinds of issues, now it seems like I am experiencing fuel starvation issues. I would like to purchase one of your 1BL->2BL adapters along with your Holly 2 BL, the motor is stock would there be a noticeable difference? The car is equipped with a 3 speed manual.
By Tom, March 29, 2011 @ 2:30 pm
Larry,
The Holley Weber is a nice “minimal” upgrade that should boost H.P. by about 6 to 8 H.P.
Tom
By Larry R, March 30, 2011 @ 12:37 am
Thanks Tom, I will be placing my order for the adapter and carb on the 5th!! Is it possible to install a different manifold on the car (single carb setup) and gain a noticeable difference?
I really need to change the current setup the fuel starvation issue is a huge PITA right now.
By Bruce, April 3, 2011 @ 2:09 pm
Larry,
What exhaust manifold are you running? If you have changed to a non-factory exhaust manifold or headers, you need a heat plate bolted up to the bottom of the intake.
Bruce
By Tom, April 5, 2011 @ 1:56 pm
Bruce,
Yes, that is true.
Tom
By Al, March 24, 2011 @ 1:27 pm
I have a 261 with a single Rochester. Will replacing it with your holley-weber 2bbl help my mpg? Will the stock linkage work with your 1bbl to 2bbl adapter and holley-weber 2bbl?
By Tom, March 25, 2011 @ 10:19 am
If your carb is like new, the improvement will be minimal (1 M.P.G.). If your carb is defective the improvement could be very large (5 M.P.G.).

I own a 1961 Chevy K20 I am in the process of putting back together with the help of a 1960 C20 part donor truck. Both trucks have 235s and I am considering the following updates:
Mini HEI with Round Coil
Williams Cast headers
OFFY 2×1 Intake manifold with head plate
Dual Carter Weber Carbs (SKU 08-8011)
My questions are as follows:
1) Do you carry an alternator package for the 235 – brackets, plugs etc?
2) Does the OFFY intake use the stock gasket and alignment sleeves?
3) Is the price of $170 for the pair of Carter Weber Carbs or each carb?
4) Do you carry a linkage that will work for this setup?
5) Which air cleaners and filter element will work with the Carter Weber carbs?
Thanks!
By Tom, March 14, 2011 @ 8:00 pm
Answers:
1) The bracket is available from Buffalo Enterprises (360-652-7684)
2) Yes
3) For a pair (2) – $170.00
4) Yes ($50.00)
5) Polished ($90.00 pr) or brushed ($60.00 pr) 7 1/2″
By Sam, March 13, 2011 @ 12:24 pm
Tom, I have a ’69 C-20 chevy truck and am currently restoring it. I would like to improve the performance as much as I can without taking the engine apart. As of right now it is all factory and the carb on it needs to be replaced. Thinking dual carb? New exhaust manifold? I think it is a inline 292.
What to buy? How much?
By Tom, March 14, 2011 @ 7:56 pm
Yes, I have this set-up on my 1971 Chevy pickup. It will work very nicely on your 292.
By Tom, April 27, 2011 @ 10:57 am
Sam,
A small four barrel and dual exhaust would be your best choice.
Tom
By Robb, March 13, 2011 @ 10:12 am
Hey tom found your site on a search engine. Ive got a 292 with a 3×1 offie and rochester carbs. Thing is they need a rebuild and I cant find a kit. Is there a way to convert my offie to accept 3 dueces?
By Tom, March 14, 2011 @ 7:53 pm
We have carbs, adapters, linkage, and air cleaners to convert your Offy 3×1 intake. You may have an air cleaner clearance issue at the firewall. Call to discuss. (586-739-9601)
By Ryan, March 11, 2011 @ 10:06 am
I bought a 1982 c10 and it has a great running 250 l6 with the integral head. My only problem is that 2 of the bolts on the exhaust manifold were snapped off and have been called “un repairable” can someone point me in the right direction. I have tried all the local junk yards and each one that I find has the same issue
By Tom, March 22, 2011 @ 3:29 pm
Ryan,
If you remove the head then the two broken off bolts can be removed by “welding” them out or E.D.M.
I know this may not be practical but it is the only way.
You also may want to check flatness on the head and exhaust at this time.
Tom
By Tom, April 27, 2011 @ 11:16 am
Ryan,
If I understand your problem, you will need to remove the cylinder head to get the bolt out.
The bolt can be remove by:
- “Welding it out” with a Heli-Arc welder
- E.D.M. (Electro Discharge Machine)
These methods are 100% effective.
Tom
By Cody, March 8, 2011 @ 7:59 pm
Hey tom i have a 292 and ive built at tripple side draft intake for it , the question that ive been getting a lot of different answers about but nothing realy ferm , ive read everywhere that you need a heated manifold to make these engines run correctly on a normal down draft carb for street uses , but some of the people ive talked to say since the side draft carb is a totally different animal that i wouldnt need to heat the manifold ,and if thats true why would the carb change if the manifold needs to be heated ? and since you have been around these motors forever i fugared you would be the person to ask .
By Tom, March 11, 2011 @ 11:31 am
Yes, you need heat. Send a picture and let’s talk.
By Chuck, February 26, 2011 @ 8:56 pm
Adapter 1 BBL to 2 BBL will this work on a 1954 Chev 235 engine? the engine is bored 60 over running a mild cam, williams headers and stock intake. I live in the mountains and the stock carb runs rich in the mountains and fine in the valleys. Would like a 2bbl where I could adjust jets to get a better running car.
Getting car ready for a long tour with the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America and would like to get better mileage. A friend has a 2BBL on a cliffords manifold and gained about 4mpg. An old timer living next to me said he used an adaptor on original manifold and got better mileage over the original carb.?
By Tom, June 25, 2011 @ 12:00 am
Yes, the Holley Weber will work great on the stock intake.
By davidlee, February 23, 2011 @ 2:12 pm
hi i am running a 1974 nova inline 250. i running a 4 bbl carb will be boring motor out and was wondering if there is any aftermarket head for that or do i have to reman my stock head??
By Tom, June 25, 2011 @ 12:02 am
You should rebuild your stock head.
By Brian, February 8, 2011 @ 12:41 pm
I have a 292 I-6 I want to put in a rat rod. I’m using a 3.55 ford rear end and a t-5 trans. I want it to be a daily driver. What would you recommend as far as cam, intake, exhaust, etc.. I’m just looking for decent power without having to stop at ever gas station. Thanks for any help you can give me.
By Tom, February 8, 2011 @ 4:50 pm
Brian,
Our Marine Cam would be a good choice with our cast iron headers and an OFFY 4 barrel or the OFFY dual Carb manifold with our dual Carter Weber two barrels.
Tom
By Adam, February 4, 2011 @ 11:48 pm
Does your 1bbl – 2bbl adapter (SKU 08-1015) fit the chevy 250 with integrated head? I need to go from the mono jet to a holley 2bbl.
By Tom, February 9, 2011 @ 3:49 pm
Adam,
Yes, the adapter will fit the 1 BBL integrated head to adapt it to the Holly Weber 5200 progressive two barrel only.

any advice or comments on this set up for my 235..
By Tom, January 27, 2011 @ 1:27 pm
Sounds like a good combination. Also, I would recommend our Mini HEI ignition.

By Steven, January 22, 2011 @ 10:24 pm
I have a 1963 230 chevy , stock cam , with a clifford intake and headers, and electronic ignition. Will the weber carbs you sell (single) work on my truck? Will it work well? Im looking for mileage.
Thanks!
By Tom, January 25, 2011 @ 2:01 pm
Steven,
Our Weber carbs work well on a stock engine (140 H.P.) but work best in a dual carb application. Using a 2BBL on a 4 BBL manifold is not recommended. Is your Clifford manifold heated?
Tom
By Darryl, January 21, 2011 @ 11:46 pm
I have a 63 Chevy Nova with a 194 6 cylinder. I want to put the holley weber 2 barrel conversion on and wondered how much tuning is required out of the box and if so, where do I get main jets or pilot jets? Thanks
By Tom, January 25, 2011 @ 1:56 pm
Darryl,
The carb will work great out of the box. Call to order and discuss linkage issues. 586-739-9601

By james, January 20, 2011 @ 1:29 pm
Hello, im updating a 54 chevy pickup with original straight six 235 and would like to get as much power out of it as i can. Could you suggest a good intake/ carb setup? would your 4bbl intake fit my engine? any help is much appreciated.
By Tom, January 21, 2011 @ 3:41 pm
James,
I would recommend the Offy dual Carburetor manifold and the William’s brand dual cast iron headers.
There is no 4 BBL intake for the 235 (except Clifford)
Tom
By James, January 18, 2011 @ 1:20 pm
I am buying an Offy 4 barrel manifold from a friend for my 1972 250 chevy six. it comes with a Holley 1850-1 carb which when I researched it online shows to be a 600 CFM carb. Is this carb too big for this engine? If so then what if I put an aftermarket cam in it?
Thanks!
By Tom, January 18, 2011 @ 3:29 pm
James,
The 600 CFM Holley is TOO big for good drivability (300 CFM primaries).
You should use a 390 Holley or a 500 Edlebrock. The choice of camshaft will not change this.
Tom
By Jake, January 17, 2011 @ 8:23 pm
I’m build a 292 for a lobster boat and i want to put a cam in it. i read online there is a langdon HO marine cam for the 292, and i was wondering what the price of it was and where i could buy one, thanks
By Tom, January 18, 2011 @ 3:26 pm
Jake,
Our high output 292 Marine Cam is $120.00 and normally in stock.
What is your maximum RPM for the engine?
Tom
By Jake, January 19, 2011 @ 8:16 am
Tom,
I do not see the Marine Cam anywhere online in the online catalog.
By Al, January 17, 2011 @ 3:10 am
What is the outlet size on your Plymouth/Dodge dual exhaust manifolds?
By Tom, January 17, 2011 @ 11:39 am

Hello Tom, greetings from Australia,
I have a 46 GMC fitted with a (January 1956, head casting number 3836848) 235 blueflame.
1- I want to fit an offenhauser 2 x 1bl intake, which one should I order?
2- I alreay have 1 x 420s Carter, should I find another or fit twin Rochesters or can you recommend a better twin setup?
3 – I want to fit twin exhaust headers what do you recommend? Fentons or your Stovebolt Cast Iron Exhaust Headers?
4 – I want to fit a finned Offenhauser alloy valve cover but my head only has 4 hold down bolts for the cover, the only covers I can find are the early 2 bolts on the top or the 7 bolt. What can I use?
Your advice would be appreciated. Jayde
By Tom, January 11, 2011 @ 2:27 pm
Jayde,
1- You should order our #10-1035
2- I would recommend our #08-8011 Carter Weber’s, Adapters, Linkage and Air Cleaners.
3- I would recommend our #42-0080 Fenton or Williams Brand Cast Iron headers.
4- The Offy usually comes with the two stud conversion kit to work with your cylinder head.
Tom
By kyle, January 5, 2011 @ 8:21 pm
hi i was wondering i have a 1972 c25 gmc with a 292, im wondering whether your 2×1 intake with your carter carbs would produce better power and driveability, then your 4bbl intake witha 4bbl carb with 390-450cfm? which is better in your opinion for a truck? my motor is mostly stock except with clifford headers and dual 2.25in exhaust, is a manual 4 spd and has really deep gearing @ 5.13s. i would like the intake system to support the motor up to 5500rpms as a cam swap is in the future. thank you so much for any advice as im hung on which intake system to get!
By Tom, January 6, 2011 @ 2:41 pm
Both carb set-ups should be the same for power but it is very important to water heat your intake manifold when you have headers.
Call (586-739-9601) to discuss an overdrive trans to help with your 5.13 axle rato.
Tom
By ted, January 5, 2011 @ 4:59 pm
I’m looking into fabbing a 4.3 throttle body off a Chevy manual Blazer onto a stock 194 intake manifold and plumbing the EGR valve into the stock manifold. I’m also wanting to split my stock manifold to run duel exhaust.
My question is; what exhaust pipe should I plumb the EGR valve into, front or rear.
Thanks!
By Tom, January 6, 2011 @ 3:08 pm
Plumb the EGR valve into the rear half assuming that you retain the heat box on the front half.
By Stephen Gottschalk, January 2, 2011 @ 3:06 pm
We bought a Holley 5200 Carb off of you for our 66 Ford about a month ago. We need a low profile oval air cleaner for it. We figured that we have 3 inches of height from the top of the carb to the hood. Do you sell one?
By Ben Morris, December 30, 2010 @ 11:49 pm
Tom, Love the site, I appreciate the love for the I6! Anyway, on to my question. Im looking to Turbo Charge my 74 250 at about 1 bar(14 psi). What Id like to do is create a fuel injection system(maybe even TBI) so I could tune it a little easier. What Id really like to do, is port the intake manifold for fuel injectors. Any chance you have any literature or could lead me in the right direction? I know the tbi setup would be much easier, with just getting a 4brl intake manifold, and a tbi off a small block. But come on, wouldn’t a direct injected inline be a whole lot cooler? Thanks, Ben.
By Tom, January 1, 2011 @ 11:57 am
Ben,
Port fuel injection on the siamesed Chevy six ports does not work well. I would recommend the TBI type system.
Tom
By Jacob Small, December 23, 2010 @ 2:02 pm
I have a Chevy 230 in a 76 Nova and it still has the stock one bbl on it and it is starving for fuel so I
would very much like to throw a two bbl on it. What carb do you recomend and what would I need to get it on to my stock intake manifold? Also I would like to get some headers for it and what would you recomend? And do I need a heat plate for the bottom of the manifold?
By Tom, December 27, 2010 @ 3:57 pm
Jacob,
Our Holly Weber progressive two barrel will do a good job but you will need to re-mount your throttle cable and check for hood clearance.
Our cast iron headers would be your best choice for street use and with them you will need a heat plate to preserve good driveability.
Tom
By Bob Hammill, December 18, 2010 @ 2:05 pm
I have your Offy Intake 2 x 2 for a 54 chevy. Considering buying the Fenton exhaust. Will the stock linkage work or do I need the Fenton linkage kit as well.
Thank you,
Bob
By Tom, December 20, 2010 @ 10:11 am
You can bend your stock vertical rod or buy a new one from Patrick’s Antiques in Casa Grande, AZ.
By Glenn, December 16, 2010 @ 10:21 pm
Hi,
How would your 2barrel into 1 and Holley carb work on a 230 Dodge flathead 6 with fluid drive? I understand it needs a dashpot/damper to keep the throttle from closing too quickly. Has this set up been done before?
Thanks.
By Tom, December 19, 2010 @ 2:39 pm
The carb will work great but I have no experience with the dashpot.
By randy, December 15, 2010 @ 2:39 pm
can i buy just thr flex plate
By Tom, December 16, 2010 @ 9:01 am
Yes you can.
By Roger, December 15, 2010 @ 8:24 am
Hi Tom
I am interested in some detail on the twin weber carbs, sku 08-8011
Can you provide:
* The original application (Chevette maybe or other?)
* Venturi sizes? (Primary and secondary)
* Throttle bore sizes?
* Main jet sizes? (Primary and secondary)
* Idle jet sizes?
* Main air bleed sizes?
Guessing these carbs are smaller than the 32/36 “2-liter Pinto” Weber?
By Tom, December 16, 2010 @ 3:21 pm
Roger,
Our “Carter Weber” carbs are actually Weber model 32 DFT as used on 1983 Ford Escort. they are NEW and have all factory fuel calibration jet sizes. We have sold over 1000 of these carbs with excellent feed back on (Dual Carb) applications from 200 to 292 Cubic inch engines.
Tom
By Ron, December 14, 2010 @ 10:52 pm
Tom you sound like the straight 6 guru. I have a 64 GMC pickup im reviving with a 230 l6. I got an HEI unit for her, also I have tubular headers for it, but im unsure about the carb, i have the stock 1bbl, but i also happen to own an offy 4bbl intake. with a stock 230, almost any 4 barrel is too much fuel, right? Is your 2bbl progressive with the stock intkae adapter the best way to go for throttle response?
By Tom, December 16, 2010 @ 3:25 pm
Ron,
The Offy 4 BBL intake would be a good upgrade for your 230 but you definitely need our (HOT WATER) heat plate because your headers do not provide this feature.
A small 4 BBL carburetor would be your best choice. I would use an Edlebrock 500 or Holley 390.
Tom
By Mitch RIsh, December 14, 2010 @ 10:19 am
Will the mid 50′s – mid 60′s early rochester 4 BBL carb work with the chevy six . They were called wcfb I think and had a very tiny CFM rating . They have that period correct look about them . Just curious ?
Mitch
By Tom, December 16, 2010 @ 9:05 am
Mitch,
The early Rochester was called the Model 4G (the WCFB was a small base Carter.) It could work okay if you are familiar with them and the carb was in good shape and was from an application with similar cubic inch. (use a 283 V8 carb on a 292.)

I was wondering what is the best upgraded dual carb set up to install on my 54 chevy 235. I have the double carb Offenhauser intake, the old carbs don’t seem to be so good. I was looking at your carter-weber two barrel carb. Also do I need a adapter for the intake heat?
By Tom, December 6, 2010 @ 10:24 pm
Ryan,
Yes, our dual “Carter Webers” are the best set-up and our inlet manifold heat plate is a definate must for any carb combination.
Tom
By Bryce, December 3, 2010 @ 9:27 am
Hello,
I’ve got a Offenhause DP Intake on a Ford 4.9l 300 cylinder. I am wanting to get a heat plate for the bottom of the intake. Would SKU 10-9999 water heat on a 250 work for the intake that I have? Or do you offer a heat plate setup for the Intake application I have? Please get back with me.
Thanks
By Tom, December 6, 2010 @ 4:11 pm
Bryce,
NO, our heat plate will NOT work on your FORD 300 but if you send me a gasket, I will investigate what it would take to make one work.
Tom
By Adam, November 28, 2010 @ 3:44 pm
I have a stock Chevy 230 in a 64 Nova. Will the 1×4 Offy intake with Holly Weber 2bbl (and 2 to 4 bbl adapter) work with the stock exhaust? I was hoping to do the exhaust in the future.
By Tom, December 6, 2010 @ 4:23 pm
Adam,
Yes, the combination would work but we do not have the adapter for the Holley Weber.
I would use a small four barrel on the Offy manifold.

Hi tom,
I have a 66 6 cyl mustang with 200 engine all stock carb, ignition etc …
I m thinking about upgrading to progressive dual weber carb.
I ve read there s a few things to do on the throttle linkage and air filter (hood clearance issue) but as i understand the system on the mustang, i guess the ignitor had to be replace to (autolite orignial is vaccum driven by autolite 1100 carb) what ignitor will you suggest ?
BTW congrat s for the new website, looks great.
By Tom, November 23, 2010 @ 3:02 pm
Dawn,
I’m not familiar with FORD ignition but I would listen to the recommendations of the FOR 6 website.
Consider the original equipment FORD six electronic ignition as it is probably the best and most reliable.

By Tom, November 18, 2010 @ 2:53 pm
Joe,
Prices are as follows:
Offy 2×1 $245.00
Ply Headers $325.00
Shipping est. $140.00
I also suggest our water heating plate for the intake $30.00.
We can Ceramic coat the headers for an additional $125.00
Do you want linkage? For what carbs?
Can you pay by Pay-Pal? (we will send a request when the order is finalized)
Please let us know.
Tom

Hello, I switched my Chevy 250 integral head engine for a non-integral one (1978). But I can’t find a detnet (kickdown) cable bracket. Anyone have one, know where to get one, or how to go about fabricating one? Thanks, John
By Tom, November 17, 2010 @ 7:54 am
Sorry, we at Stovebolt Engine Co. aren’t able to help with this question.

I’D LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS 42-0070 HEADER WILL INSTALL ON A 70 230 NOVA 6 USING THE STOCK INTAKE 1 BARREL MANIFOLD. PLANNING ON UPGRADING TO DUAL EXHAUST FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE… ANY OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS?
By Tom, November 14, 2010 @ 11:23 pm
Vince,
Yes, our headers will fit and work with the stock intake. I would highly recommend the Offy four barrel manifold and a small four barrel.

Hi guys . Im looking at purchasing a set of your motor mounts for a 292 chev . On your order form it says to call you , but Im in Australia and the time difference makes it a bit difficult . Is there any way we can do the order via email ? I will also be getting the bolt kit as well . Thanks, Rob .
By Tom, November 14, 2010 @ 11:42 pm
We can send you an invoice and a request for payment using Pay Pal. Will that work for you?
By Chris, November 7, 2010 @ 11:00 am
I have a 1950 Pontiac with a 239 ci flathead strait 6. I would like a dual carb intake manifold and would like to run 2 of the original Carter WA-1 717s carbs if possible. Will these manifolds fit my engine or are u able to fab one that will fit? Price? I have a stock exhaust manifold.
By Tom, November 7, 2010 @ 6:40 pm
Sorry, I have nothing for the Pontiac Flathead Six.
By Dan, November 5, 2010 @ 1:56 am
Hey Tom, I have an inline 6 230 with HEI in my truck. Would an offy 4bbl intake and a Holley 390 be a good upgrade? or is that too much carb for my engine?
Is your heat plates for the offy intakes as effective as the factory intake manifold? its cold up here in canada.
thanks
Dan

By Tom, November 5, 2010 @ 10:41 pm
The Offy 1×4 and Holley 390 (or Edlebrock 500) would make an excellent upgrade. Yes, our water heat plate works well here in Michigan on my truck.
By Paul, November 4, 2010 @ 1:43 pm
For a 230 in a ’64 Biscayne… would you recommend Offy’s dual carb or triple carb set-up?
By Tom, November 14, 2010 @ 11:09 pm
I would recommend the dual carb due to firewall clearance issues. Also, you need to check hood clearance. Call to discuss (586-739-9601).
By Mitch Rish, November 3, 2010 @ 10:00 pm
Are the motor mounts ( pictured ) for the 292 , or are these the same for the 230 ,250,292 . I was looking at the offset on one of the mounts . I have a 1951 3800 series 1 ton -looking to up date with a nice 250 that I have. Looks like it could save a lot of work. I figure I would use the 57 truck v-8 bellhousing and weld the tabs for the feet to bolt to – on to the existing crossmember- that way I dont have to remove that crossmember or worry about a rear trans mount.I would be able to keep my same drive shaft etc as well.
Mitch
By Tom, November 14, 2010 @ 11:04 pm
The picture is a generic picture of our mounts. The 292 passenger side engine bracket is for the 292 only. The kit is for the 1/2 ton frame but can be easily adapted for your 1 ton frame.
By Mitch Rish, November 18, 2010 @ 11:11 pm
THanks for the information. Are their any differences between the 1 ton pickup and the 1/2 ton frame ( at least up in the front area ???) ? I just assumed the axles were the only differences – again thanks
Mitch
By Joe, October 28, 2010 @ 9:36 am
Do you have motor mounts for a 235 for a 1952 Chevy sedan?
By Tom, October 28, 2010 @ 2:29 pm
Joe,
We can convert your 1952 Chevy engine mount brackets to a 1958-1962 235 bolt pattern.
Call to discuss.

Will a chevy 230 L6 distributor fit in a chevy 235 L6
By Tom, October 28, 2010 @ 9:16 am
The 230 distributor will fit into the 235 engine but the gear and oil pump drive DO NOT align properly.
By Tom, October 28, 2010 @ 3:12 pm
Phil,
The Chevy 230 distributor will fit into the 235 engine BUT the gear and oil pump drive DO NOT align properly.
The gear will not engage fully and failure will result.
I recommend our MINI HEI. (Requires 12 volts)
Tom
By Kyle, October 27, 2010 @ 12:22 pm
Would your engine mount kit work to install a later inline 6 (63 or later) in a 54 chevy?
By Tom, October 28, 2010 @ 9:23 am
Yes, we have sold many kits for this application.
By Tom, October 29, 2010 @ 9:48 am
Yes, our mount kit will work for your 230/250 into a ’54 Chevy.
By Joel Orozco, October 27, 2010 @ 11:40 am

By jon, October 24, 2010 @ 11:18 pm
I need to replace my stock carburator on my 1969 Chevy Nova’s 250 inline 6 engine. The engine is all stock and the car is used as a weekend driver. What carb do u recommend,and would i need to install a mounting bracket. Also do u sell the aftermarket linklage or would i need to have it fabricated
Thanks for your help
Jon
By Tom, October 25, 2010 @ 9:15 pm
I would recommend our Holley Weber progressive two barrel. You would need to fabricate linkage.
By Tom, December 15, 2010 @ 2:30 pm
Jon,
Our Holley Weber will work well but we do not have linkage for your application.
Tom
By billy pennington, October 24, 2010 @ 9:23 am
Hi Tom I have a 63 Plymouth Valiant 225 slant six I’d Like to put the offenhauser 2×1 dual 1 barrel on it would your best carb choice mild head work small cam and headers
By Tom, October 28, 2010 @ 9:26 am
Our Carter Weber would work the best. Call to discuss and order (586-739-9601).
By Tom, December 15, 2010 @ 2:31 pm
Billy,
Our Carter Weber’s would work great.
Tom
By Eric M, October 18, 2010 @ 10:40 pm
I am in the market for a carb, I was recomended to your website from justih.org I am going to put it in my Scout that has a 152 CI engine, your website changed a bit (and prices) and your 2 BBL carbs are now sold 2 at a time? Can I order just one? I would also be interested in your 1 BBL to 2 BBL adaptor.
Also what are shipping prices? I tried going halfway through the checkout to find them but couldn’t, my ZIP is 59037.
Thanks.
By Tom, October 19, 2010 @ 3:54 pm
The best carb for you would be our Holley Weber Progressive two barrel ($75.00) and adapter ($15.00)
By Chad Cheshire, October 17, 2010 @ 9:51 pm
I want to put a t5 behind a 230 that currently has a power flight. Do you have, or can you make an adapter?
By Tom, October 18, 2010 @ 1:40 pm
Is this engine a 230 Mopar Flathead or a 230 Chevy six? What vehicle is it going in?
By Jim Robinson, October 17, 2010 @ 8:35 pm
I have a 71 Pontiac T-37 w/250 cu. in If I install the GM factory HEi will I have to make any wiring changes?
By Tom, October 28, 2010 @ 9:29 am
This would take a more detailed answer. Please call to discuss (586-739-9601).
By the Wood, October 16, 2010 @ 5:36 am
curious bout the dodge truck adapter does this kit make a t5 work with a mopar straight 6? and if so what else is needed to purchase..
thanks rob
By Tom, October 17, 2010 @ 7:01 pm
The Dodge truck adapter works only with the Dodge truck bellhousing. You also need a clutch disc and a shorter driveshaft.
By Miles D, October 14, 2010 @ 1:35 pm
I have a 230 that I would like to upgrade to dual carb. What is best bet and cost? Dual Carter and Offy? Linkage?
By Bruce, October 15, 2010 @ 4:16 pm
Miles,
The best dual carb set-up for your 230 would include the
Offy 2×1 inlet manifold ($235.00) ea.
Our Carter Weber Carbs, Carb adapters , Linkage, Air cleaners and heat plate ($340.00)
Tom
By doug, November 18, 2010 @ 10:04 pm
tom do you have a intake set up for the 235 with the carter weber carbs carb adapters linkage air cleaners and heat plate like miles orderd thanks good day !
By Tom, November 19, 2010 @ 10:44 am
We have all the parts except the Offy Intake in stock. The intakes are on back order and expected in approx. 2 weeks (12-7-10).
By Joe Hyde, October 13, 2010 @ 6:13 pm
I have an 292 engine with integral manifold cylinder head. As i have a 250 marine cylinder head, will it fit
the 292 block?
By Tom, October 14, 2010 @ 9:33 am
Yes
By Joe Hyde, October 14, 2010 @ 11:55 am
Any idea the effect on compression ratio and or power? would i be better off to find an older 292 head? Appreciate your help very much.
By Travis, October 13, 2010 @ 2:28 pm
Hello Tom! I’ve got a 1971 nova with a 250 and a powerglide. It has the rochester monojet carb, which i would like to replace. I’d like to keep the stock intake manifold. Do you sell any 1 or 2 bbl carbs that would bolt right up to my stock setup? Thank you in advance for your reply!
By Tom, October 13, 2010 @ 5:26 pm
We do have a Holley Weber Progressive two barrel carb but is not a “bolt on” and requires linkage fabrication.
By Bill, October 12, 2010 @ 11:22 pm
So whcih linkage do you reccomend with my 1969 GMC 910 292 inline for the 4bbl carb intake manifold?
By Jerome, October 10, 2010 @ 7:58 pm
I have an ’83 Chevy with a 250 engine. I want to get as much torque as I can get. Should I go with 2 or 3 1bbl carb’s or go to the 4 bbl?
By Tom, October 11, 2010 @ 7:47 pm
All the carb “set-ups” are basicly on the same log inlet manifold and thus make the same torque. You need more cubic inches.
By Okey, October 9, 2010 @ 9:45 pm
i would like to use the cast iron headers for a chevy 250 SKU 42-0070. What do you use to heat the intake?
By Tom, October 11, 2010 @ 7:45 pm
Use our heat plate with hot water plumbed to it. ( P/N 10-9999)
By jacob, October 6, 2010 @ 11:18 pm
hi my name is jake and im looking for performance parts for my 54 chrysler flathead six, it has a 265. do you have any parts other than a distributer for it? thank you
By Tom, October 13, 2010 @ 5:58 pm
We have made custom manifolds and headers for this engine. You would need to call to discuss details.
By Tom, October 18, 2010 @ 1:35 pm
We can custom make inlet or exhaust manifolds for the Chrysler 265 flathead. Call to discuss details and to order (586-739-9601). Pictures are available in our online catalog.
By jim henry, October 5, 2010 @ 6:05 pm
I am planning on buying from you for my 292 SKU42-0070 and SKU10-5416 and plan to use a 500 edlebrock will I need a heat plate and do you have linkage, this will all be going in my 50 chevy
By Bill, October 4, 2010 @ 10:09 am
So whcih linkage do you reccomend with my 1969 GMC 910 292 inline for the 4bbl carb?
By Tom, October 13, 2010 @ 5:48 pm
Call (586-739-9601) and ask for our truck linkage. It’s a speciality item that is not listed in our catalog.
By Tom, October 2, 2010 @ 1:26 pm
Hello,
I have an older clifford intake on my 250 which is not water heated. Can one of your water heat plates work on my intake?
By Tom, October 5, 2010 @ 12:29 pm
No, sorry our heat plate will not work. An unheated old Clifford Intake does not provide good driveability and I wouldn’t recommend using it.
By david, October 1, 2010 @ 5:13 pm
hey i am planning on getting your 4bbl intake for my 250/ what carb do u guys recommend and will i be able to use my current linkage or will i need to get that as well?
By Tom, October 4, 2010 @ 9:41 am
Use a Holley 390 or Edlebrock 500 four barrel for your 250. You will need linkage to suit your vehicle.
By Bill, September 30, 2010 @ 10:37 pm
Does the 4bbl intake manifold, and linkage come with instructions?
By Tom, September 30, 2010 @ 11:35 pm
There are no instructions with the manifold. The 4 bbl linkage type must be matched to the type of vehicle you have. It is sold seperate from the intake manifold. A picture or sketch will be provided.
By Bill, September 30, 2010 @ 10:33 pm
Hey i want to buy your offy 4barrel intake manifold for my 292inline gm engine, and i was wondering what is the biggest carb you could run on it getting max performance without it bogging or anything. thanx Bill
By Tom, September 30, 2010 @ 11:39 pm
A Holley 390 or Edlebrock 500 cfm will work great on your 292. It will also be required to heat your intake manifold with our heat plate or the factory exhaust manifold. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. NOTE: See tech tip on “Why you need to heat your manifold”.
By Bo, September 30, 2010 @ 5:49 pm
Hi, i heard that yall make a supercharger kit?
By Tom, September 30, 2010 @ 9:00 pm
Sorry, no – we have not sold any supercharger kits or parts in the last 12 years.
By sean, September 27, 2010 @ 10:54 pm
which inlet manifold heat plate for the chevy 292 and how is it connected?
By Tom, September 28, 2010 @ 8:40 am
Our part # 10-9999 will work on a 292. It attaches with the original 3 bolt holes like the factory exhaust manifold attaches to the factory intake manifold.
By Dom, September 24, 2010 @ 4:57 pm
Hello, I am trying to fix up a 1964 Chevy Impala with a 250 straight six. Would your headers work with this motor (42-0070)? Also thinking about purchasing the Offi intake manifold 5416, what type of carb could I run off that intake. Thank You for your help.
By Tom, September 25, 2010 @ 8:58 am
Yes, our headers will work on your ’64 Impala. Also, the Offy 1×4 inlet manifold will make a nice upgrade.
By bill robertson, September 24, 2010 @ 3:47 pm
I am looking for headers for a 67 nova with a 250 6 cylinder engine. any help?
By Bruce, September 24, 2010 @ 4:31 pm
Bill,
Yes our cast iron dual headers # 42-0070 will work great. $277.00 + shipping.
By R, February 3, 2011 @ 11:07 pm
I ORDERED THE SPLIT HEADERS FOR A 250 FROM STOVEBOLT. COULDN’T BE HAPPIER; THEY’RE GREAT.
By Mike Harrison, February 12, 2011 @ 6:38 pm
Is this a two door? Great car I had one in the 70s and would love to find one to replace that one.
