Yes, there is such a thing as too much carburetor, which has occured to me with the QuadraJet on my 292. But Chev did use a progressive two barrel on late integral head inline sixes - I think maybe both 250 and 292 versions.

Hahahaha this is fantastic. Here's another idea! Because that manifold is cast iron, could you chop the plenum off, and use simple homebrew mig welding to build a nice big plenum from box steel or sheet metal to feed the cylinders with a single 4 barrel? I've seen people have good results welding cast iron just by being careful and using the stack 'o tacks technique like you use with sheet metal.

[@lawrenceveinotte]

a guy came to my fab shop wanting me to convert his 292 intake to a 2 barrel, i did it but it was a lot of work, exhaust comes up two passages to heat the carb. they had to be welded shut from underneath, then i gutted the top side and welded a 2bbl flange i cut out of an old SBC intake, i tried to sell him a clifford 4bbl intake but nope he wanted a 2bbl, he installed a 2g, said it worked great.

[@Paulster2]

How is the spacer going to do anything for airflow transition? You are just extending the barrels of the carb, which exits in the same (or near the same) place as what the carb would in the first place. Wouldn't an open plenum spacer do what you are wanting it to do here? Give the flow an easier transition around the bolts and the flat area of the adapter.

[@stephenandloriyoung5716]

When I asked at the parts store for adapters to go from one barrel to two, and two to four, the reaction was, "That's like trying to put a tornado through a keyhole!" I thought it was a fair analogy, used an Offenhauser four barrel intake instead, and put a QuadraJet on it. I oriented it with the primaries at the front, like it is on the V8s, not "sideways", because sideways seemed strange to me. It's snug where the automatic choke cuddles up to the valve cover, but doable. In retrospect, I might try the sideways mounting another time. It looks like your stack of adapters may have two advantages - a "tunnel ram" effect, and good insulation to prevent heat soak and vapor lock. Have you installed and run it?

with the 2 barrel adapter being a 2 hole rather than an open hole you arent really gaining any transition area since the fuel air mixture still has to hard cut over after the spacer. I think your idea would only show a benefit if you machined out that spacer so its a big oval hole rather than the 2 hole. Second, are you planning on running other intakes on the 292 or just the modified stock one? I know after market manifolds for those arent exactly littering craigslist.
