I am wanting to use the Ford torque tube set up.

Re: Cadillac 331 in a Ford
Thanks for the tip. He did not have the motor mounts. But he listed an original Cadillac 331 bellhousing. Since I am installing a Laselle transmission, this was a rare and great find.

Holley 94 4 bolt base?
I have a couple Holley 94 carbs with a 4 bolt base instead of the 3 bolt base.
Do you know where the 4 bolt bases were used? I would like to obtain a couple more 4 bolt bases.
Thank you!
