wtb 351c 2v performance intake and carb

[[email protected]]

Ok so I'm supposed to be picking up ab edelbrock performer this weekend any recommendations on gaskets?

Edelbrock suggests Fel-Pro 1240 for 2v heads. Have you confirmed the intake is for 2V heads? Chuck

Thanks fir all the help guys I really do appreciate it. I'm still on the lookout for a cheap carb though which brings me to another question am I going to have to get a spacer for it?

So I got an edelbrock 1406 and a performer 2v manifold I don't know what manifold gasket to get because there are an hp and SB for the fel pro 1240 please help me out if you can I would appreciate it.

Fel-Pro 1240 should work. Chuck

I would run a 4 hole carb spacer to help keep the carb cooler and add a little low end torque.

Ok i will get one tomorrow anything else I need to get while I'm at the parts store? Do I need to get an edelbrock throttle kit since I have an automatic? Thank you

You will need the Ford transmission kick down kit. It works but is not a pretty arrangement. Depending on many variables, you may need the calibration kit. I'd wait and see if it is needed or not. Chuck

So I took my old manifold off and when I looked at the ports my head has a small port in the center and my gaskets don't should I cut the hole out of the gasket to make em fit?

 

[droptop73]

The small port is for an exhaust gas crossover. It's purpose is to "preheat" the manifold under the carb for cold weather drivability. For a summertime car in California, it's probably unnecessary to open the gasket up. Heck, I'm in Michigan and have mine blocked.

FYI, There aren't water passages thru a Cleveland intake or intake face on the heads.
