probably not a rare carb . But thought I might try this on a ford small block believe it or not. Always wondered about the 3 letter alpha code.

 That code was used to identify what car it was used on. A specific car got a specific carb, hence why all codes are usually different. It's usually found on the broadcast (build) sheet.

what I plan on using is an intake made for summit racing [by who I don't know, maybe Wiand??] It is called the Summit stage 2 [sum-226033. It appears from all the images that I have seen to have ample material to enlarge around the rear bore are of the carb. [the stage 1 intake has little material at all] So yes indeed I will end up voiding the warranty by hogging out the top of the intake but it's all in the effort of experimentation which I feel is what its all about when it comes to my crazy idea of using a Qjet on top of a ford small block. Maybe I'll post some pictures if it all works out.  Guess I'll need to have some minimum adapter any way so the mounting bolts will work. I like the idea of a 3/4 inch wood spacer for  insulation. The original 2 barrel had a spacer from the factory and it was fairly thick so I'm hoping I'll be alright on height. The ford air cleaner used on the 2 barrel ford will fit the Q-jet with some mods.

let me know how that works . there is not enough meat on the edelbrock rpm or i would use it . i have a friend the does tig work for me and he was going to tig some bosses on to mount the quad but not enough meat to hog out . hope to see some pictures from you soon.

bought an edelbrock rpm for my 351 w. set it to buddy that built my air cleaner for my 429 with the duel 3 in intake ports . he's going to tig places to bolt the quad,on and widen the top and bore out the inside for the quad to fit . it should be one of a kind . ill post some pictures when its done . should be a month or so.

its done looks beautiful can't seem to post pictures , ill see if my daughter can help me some time next week. when the engine is done I'm going to put it on the dyno with the offy 360 first and then swap to the new modified one . I'm guessing 30 hp hell i could loose power , only the dyno will tell. fwiw
