here is what i built for mine in some spare time and scrap angle iron.

Odd cause I have one one my 68 /6 that I've also used on my 71 360.

I picked up the same E beam welded intake from an 80 Dodge pickup. I JB welded all the way around the seams. Hoged out the center and used an adapter to mount a Holley 350. I applied 4 heavy coats of high temp black engine paint. Installed with new gaskets and rtv. Torqued to factory specs. No...

Ill have to check out your build for lots of ideas.

I also have been thinking about adding a turbo to my slant six. Swapping out the Holley 1945 to the Holley 350 made the slant six feel like a whole different motor.

The pertronix was okay but I was way more impressed with the junkyard built hei for $25 and no more ballast resistor

I was also thinking I needed to add a few more degs of timing. Ive heard some like it around 16 degs. I havnet taken it out to test drive it because I waiting for my new throttle return springs (the lokar ones don't work well with the bracket) and making sure there are no more leaks.

I put the 56 jets in this morning along with the 6.5 pv. This time when I went to adjust the a/f screws I dug out my vac gauge instead of doing it by ear. She's sitting just a hair below 14 inHg. I double checked the float level and brought it up just a hair. I still keep getting a small fuel...

Thanks. As an industrial mechanic that works 12 hours a day I know if you dont start with good working parts you will end up chasing your tail plus I enjoy tinkering with carbs enough that I'm okay with redoing it for the turbo..... or there is another 2300 in the carb pile but it's not in as...

Without knowing the history of the carb I wanted to make sure it would even work. I have one holley 4150 that I bought 2nd hand that ran great for 2 years then the internals eroded and plugged the carb up. If I'm going to spend the money on going turbo I wanted to make sure I'm starting with a...

I think I had autolites in before the hei upgrade and they looked like these. Plug choice anymore seems hard with all the China crap we get anymore. I used to prefer campion but lately I've had better luck with ngk. The ones that are in is the ones Dan stern recommends with the hei upgrade so...

Motor is all stock except HEI. Valves are adjusted correctly and timing is at 10' btdc. Ngk plugs gapped to .045.

I know the real test would be to get it out a long stretch of road with no traffic and run it up then shut it down and pull the plugs to see how they look but wanted to try getting it close first. Not even the bbs left the plugs that black (close though). I chose the 350 because I'd like to...

Will I need to recurve the distributor or run lighter springs?

Sorry I forgot to make mention that I did adjust the a/f mixture screws slowly 1/4 at a time till it stumbled then slowly backed them out till the rpm no longer increased then divided that by two. Seems like it was pretty close to 1.5 turns out. The float level is set where the gas is just below...

It was running while in the garage only. I could tell on startup that it was rich because of the 5 different carbs that I've had on it it smelled rich like the bbs. I have a 6.5 PA I can put in it. When I rebuilt it I set it up based a pond the info I found to be how it would be out of the box...

Thanks for the reply. The ignition is working correctly. The module has its own separate ground going back to the redundant ground on the firewall (ran into that issue after paint). Before the swap with the holley 1945 the ngk plugs where light brown.

Went ahead and pulled the bowl to double check whats in it. 60 jets, 8.5 pv, orange cam on hole one, .015 acc shot lever at wot. Float is set just below the sight hole. Going to pick up a pair of 56s after work tomorrow and see how that goes.

So I installed my holley 2300 350 cfm and modified aluminum intake last night. Used a 3" long piece of aluminum angle to adapt the lokar throttle and kickdown (still needs to be adjusted as I cant get more than 3/4 throttle). I rebuild the carb to factory specs (one jet size lower than they come...

Could we possibly get a pic of your setup Jake? I'm currently making one out of aluminum angle for my holley 2300 and I'm always curious to see others innovations.

I had a remanded bbs that ran really rich. Nothing I could do would lean it out enough. I tryied 2 1920s but they leaked. I found a junkyard 1945 and capped off the emission ports then jetted it up a bit. Runs good. The hei conversion is well worth it also.

I was checking out there kit and for the price it looks like a well put together kit.

They call the 2 piece aluminum intake the e-beam welded intake over at slantsix.org. I was going to have the intake powder coated but got impatient waiting for my friend. I coated the whole porous weld with jb weld and gave it 2 days of cure time. Then sanded it to blend the lines and give it...

So I was a bit bored at work today (yep on Thanksgiving) so I decided to work on my aluminum e beam intake to get it ready for my Holley 350. Cut and blended the runner and make a new gasket. I was wonder if anyone has some pics of one equipped with a lokar, magnum, or other cable kick down?

Walker products should have the missing parts your looking for.

I had the same problems with the two Holley 1920s (leaked gas everywhere). I tried two different Carter bbs but they ran too rich and hard to find parts. Most people don't like the Holley 1945 but I took one from a 74 dart, put a kit in it, and stepped up the jets a few sizes (same as the...

Thanks. Currently my 225 is all stock but have been thinking of shaving a little off the head (but keep the compression low enough to still run a Turbo), run 1.70 intake valves, and change the cam. Everyone keeps telling me to drop in my 360 that I've got $6k into but there's something about the...

That's how mine looks too. I'm having my boss sand blast mine and a friend is going to powder coat it.

I thought I read that the 80s exhaust manifolds were a better design than the late 60s. Either way oh well but back to the original question. Can anyone give me a ball park setup for the 7448? I have an extra 9.5 PV, 58, 60, 63, 65 jets and a whole bunch of shooters.

It has the better stove choke design.
