2 barrel on a 4 barrel Intake?

[dsrt4]

I have this new 401 long block that I really want to put a 2 barrel onto.

I came into a new amc 4 barrel edelbrock performer intake yesterday for free.

When I Stated to the fellow that gave it to me I wanted to run a 2bbl he say's... "So Put a Circle track Adapter on it and run a 2bbl"

I had no idea what he was talking about so I googled it when I got home and found this...

I think I'm going to try it? Anyone see any reason why I shouldn't?
If anything it will save the 1 million pounds of the stock Iron intake that I did not even have..

That would work perfect. Thats what I would use. Are you using a motorcraft carb, if you do you may have to use a different gasket between the carb and adapter. The stock one for the m/c carb works good. The holley gasket could leak at the back ive found.

I used a craptastic adapter for smog in CA worked fine running a 2bbl carb on 4bbl intake.

That one you linked looks MUCH better than the crappy one I have.

It looks perfectly, i would use the 500CFM 2barrel by Holley along with you nice 4bbl intake truck will have great throttle response and good power with out breaking the bank in fuel.

I did this to my 77' F350 dump truck, i didn't lose any power felt like i gain some torque over the stock 4bbl set up and i gained a noticeable amount of MPG's

what about this, less and probably $20 at your local speed shop

I'd go with what he linked in 1st post vs. this one.
I have one like the Mr. Gasket one, the one he linked to is obviously MUCH higher quality.

[JeepMods]

I'd go with the second one... It's cheaper AND it works the same... toss on the gaskets torque it down and be done with it, in doing so you'll be saving cash.

[CHICOWAGGY]

Don't skimp on quality, go with the first one. I've come to the conclusion that alot of the Mr Gasket stuff is crap.

[dsrt4]

The Mister Gasket one looks like it is the reverse of what I would want right?
I wonder if it would be a pain to use in reverse?

[babywag]

The Mr. Gasket one is nothing like the one you posted.

If it's like what I have, they are craptastic @ best.
Cheap, poorly made, fit but could be better, come with worthelss hardware, etc.

I'd go with the style in your first post if I was to do it again.

[dsrt4]

I will be getting the circle track one.

I have a Mister gasket 1937 on a eagle wagon with a 2100 and although I didnt have any problems with it you could tell it wasn't a quality part.

It was only $17 couldn't complain but I did use it like it was made to be used.

Babywag, any time you want to get rid of that adapter, I'll trade you my stock 2-barrel intake for your 4-barrel intake.

[fulsizjeep]

Either should work depending on your budget. Would you rather have a stock cast iron 2 bbl intake? Can probably get a screamin deal on one around here. I'm not sure I would willingly put a 2bbl on a 4bbl intake, but that is just me.

[AMC-J/20]

I don't know, I had great luck replacing my 4bbl motorcrap carb with a nice 2bbl Holley in a 4bbl intake on my 77' F350 dump truck.

I don't see why it wouldn't work with a 401AMC engine, he ain't towing 18,000LB's either so he'll have more get up n go then i got.
