Has anyone tried to adapt the Rochester 2g carbs to an Edelbrock 3x2 intake manifold. I am curious if it can , or has been done. I am tired of fighting these Holly 94 carbs, and their sensitive fuel pressure problems and the temperamental vac. signal problems. Anyone, anyone have any thoughts?

Make some adapters out of aluminum ???

Paul, if I go ahead and try this , that will be the way I go. My brother is a machinist, and has his own mill, and lathe.

I assume you are considering the older, small base 2G. Check to see if there is room for three on the manifold. With almost twice the flow of a 94, two should be plenty on a mild engine.

If you can still find the small 283 size, they make a wonderful carb for a three two intake.

40cpe, and Ole Don. Yes, the older 2g from an early 283 with the small throttle bore's are what I had in mind. The spacing on the manifold may be the only problem.
