Converting a lt1 intake to carburetor.

[BIG CAT]

Man I don't know Chris, with all that plenum volume and short runner length id think you'd lose a lot of much needed velocity and start puddling fuel. But then again you're basically doing the same thing when you run a wet shot of nitrous and it works I guess. Are you looking to put an elbow on the front and adapt it to a carb or mill a hole in the top and weld a carb flange on?

mill everything off except the runners and sides between the runners. then use sheet metal to rebuild the front,back and upper sections. i am not supper concerned about fuel puddling or perfict street manors. they truck speed the majority of there time between 3k to 6k rpm.

blue truck is my brothers. 44" cut ground hawgs with a bbf. the other truck is his neighbors toyota with a 355 sbc and cut 44" boggers.

Closest thing I could find..


I would seal off the one end, and mill the ribs flat, then bore out two carb places and run tiny ass ones

lol i seen that one. man that thing looks ghetto as hell. we will be reusing his 750 to keep costs down. this engine is only temporary till he can afford to put his low deck 440 together.

I think converting a dry manifold over to a wet one like you've suggested really isn't a good idea. Can it be done? Yes. Will it work very well? No. I think your best bet would be the dual quad option as suggested. If you don't, you're gunna have issues fueling 1/2 & 7/8 cylinders correctly (rich on 3/4/5/6 and lean on 1/2/7/8) due to locality of where the carb discharge is located at. Like said, though ... if you get it done, would like to see pics!
