Cliff's Quadrajet Parts and Rebuild Kits

It appears that with the hard times and price asked for cast iron intakes(some are very proud of theirs), I am going to use an Edelbrock 2101 on my 81 Jimmy. My money is going to fund a tranny change from a TH350C to a 700R4. If things get better, I might be able to find a decent intake.
My carb is a Qjet 17081226.
My Jimmy has a Goodwrench 249hp crate motor with stock exhaust. The engine never gets above 3300 rpm and can cruise at 70 and pull 12-15 inHg.
I have 3.73 ring gears in the front and rear 10 bolt axles and 31" tires.
The transfer case is an NP208.
The Jimmy's weight is listed at 4700#.
My goal is fuel economy and low end torque.
I go offroad and tow my boat. Some heavier towing my be in the picture.
I have purchased your well plugs, but now I am looking for a rebuild kit and set up.
Any help and which recipe would be helpful.

The 17081226 is an excellent unit, we have both SR and HP kits for them.
I have a really nice cast iron intake under the work bench as well. I pulled it out of storage for a potential buyer a while back, and for some reason the sale fell thru? I'm pretty sure it's from a truck in the later 70's. They are a tad heavy to ship, but we'll sell it for $35 plus the shipping via UPS Ground......Cliff

Check what shipping might be to 32953.

Think I've found one local at a machine shop. If it doesn't work out, let me know what the weight is (aprox) and I will check on UPS.

The USPS calculator says $24 to about $45, depending on type of service chosen?
I would image our UPS commercial account is about the same. I've shipped them before, and cylinder heads, no more than about $35 anywhere in the US......Cliff

Very good and thanks. I won't know for a few days if the local shop has one, he mentioned to me that he believes he has one and would be willing to make some kind of a trade. If it doesn't work out I will let you know.
Thanks again,
Jim

Doesn't look like the manifolds at the machine shop will work. Cliff, if you PM me, we can get together on the cast manifold.
