4.0 head on 4.2 short block intake and carb options
Posted: October 24th, 2023, 1:26 pm
I have found a boat of info on here and thank you guys for being a well of information. I have looked but can't seem to find a definite answer on this subject matter.
I'm putting a 7120 head on my 258 short block with a mild street cam from Russ. I am aware the 258 intake manifold needs a dowel shaved off to mate up to the 7120 head, but my question is should I go with an Offenhauser intake manifold and 4-barrel carb or can I stick with my current intake manifold and use a 2-barrel carb? if so, what carb is recommended?
Thanks again.
