Carbs on a 218

[Wayne3436]

Can you swap a later model 2 brl. Carb  By making a adapter for my 36  dodge coupe with a 218?

[Sniper]

Yes, how difficult it will be depends on the carb selected.

 

I spent some time talking to Tom at http://www.langdonsstovebolt.com

about his progressive 2bbls for my dual carb intake.  He makes some good points.  Dunno how well they would would on a single carb intake though.

 

I would suggest a carb from a similarly sized engine as a starting point.  Some like to use the 2bbl off a slant six.

You can still buy a 2bbl to 1 bbl adapter for under 2o bucks typically mounts a small Carter or Holley from small v 8 2lke 273, 260, 289 and some Jeep four litres.  The ones that Stovebolt sell for x 2 intakes were made for a 1.6 litre Pinto engine.  So a single one is not going to feed an engine with twice the displacement.  The small v 8 ones are at least in the displacement zip code.  But pulling air through a 2bbl and forceing it to flow through a single throat hole doesn't make room for a lot of improvement.

The benefit should be at low down rpm torque, where we often drive at.

This  looks like  It would orient carb in any direction. 
a lot nicer than what i cobbled up.
