Dear, on this page you can see the differences with the American Y block. http://fordv8argentina.com.ar/diferenciasentref1f2.htm Cheers!

Boys .. problem solved! Just adding the spring worked perfectly! A thank you to all of you, without your recommendations I would never have tried to change the original admission to 4 bbl. Thanks a lot!

I tell you that when it locks, the pedal remains fully .. consequently the primaries are also open .. it is as if it were a delay of one second. I am using a single spring, it can be seen in the photos ... and the connecting rod to the secondaries is connected. Check the base of the intake since...

Dear, today I finally installed the original intake modified to 4bbl. It works perfect! the opening of the secondaries can be regulated very well! I just need to add one more spring to the throttle.. because it has happened to me that being in wot with the secondaries open that when releasing...

Dear, I got my original intake machined, it will look similar to this photo that I attach, only that I asked you to extend the partition to the top in the template. As soon as I have it, I will tell you how it went. Greetings!

This is finding out if it is possible to machine the original intake to make it 4bbl ... if so, possibly it will. Thank you all very much for your suggestions! Greetings!

Yes, it is basically the same block with some improvements, such as the cylinder heads (similar to 302 engine), a water pump with two circulation channels. Except for the cilinder heads and the camshaft, the rest of the parts are 100% compatible with the Y block, that's why I made my query in...

The original intake is 2bbl, it was never manufactured for 4bbl, some machines transform it into 4bbl. As a last alternative, you could modify the original. Thanks for the article that you shared with me. Greetings.

dmsfrr Thank you very much for your reply. What he tells me is correct, I will try when I can make time to place bigger jets in the secondary ones and smaller ones to see which of the two configurations allows me to regulate the opening before. Greetings.

When I decided to buy it I read a lot, and many said that 465cfm is adequate. I also saw that the 57´ 312ci had that carburetor originally with jets of 55 in the primaries and 48 in the secondary ones. I know my carb is not the same as that 465cfm but the 60 jets in the secondaries won't be too...

As I mentioned, with one more measure of jets, the engine gets sluggish in the middle regimes. I decided on that intake thinking that in the future change the cam and increase the compression ... but I do not know when that can happen. With the single plane from 3000 rpm he gets furious. In my...

The timing is configured with the vacuum gauge and the idle mixture. The diaphragm of my carburetor is adjustable, but as soon as I open it a little, it bogs. Could it be that the engine does not need the secondary ones? Is the carburetor too big for the standard engine? Or by reducing the jets...

Possibly lose vacuum very quickly with the single plane intake ..? The bog can be produced because it is very rich in the secondary ones? As I mentioned, with the 56 jets in the primaries the engine was slow ... in fact, a flat spot was produced between 1500 and 2000 rpm in WOT. Although with...

Precisely what I was telling you is that as soon as I give more opening to the secondaries, with the regulation screw, the bog is produced immediately. I checked it out with the bread twist .. In the image you can see what you can open without bog. As for the choke ... it opens completely and...

Dear .. I have a 1982 f100 (Argentina) with a Ford V8 292 Phase 2 engine (similar to the Y block, only the cylinder caps change) and I installed a quick fuel SL450SV carburetor with a single plane intake. The engine is stock .. electronic ignition and headers. Originally the carburetor came with...
