Just tuned back in here.
- I wish to point out that I have no interest in efi for my rest-mod rod 283.
- Regarding the discussion of the last 2 days, there has been occasional reference to carb options for Stovebolts.
Has there been a tangent of the discussion that has veered to stock Stovebolt engines , or have all comments been in regards to my 283?
Not everything in the thread has been specifically focused on the V8's and not your 283. I can't remember if the GM Heritage site has any info for the 265 V8, I know that my 1957 283 was offered with the stock 2G two barrel and an optional 4G four barrel that raised the horsepower rating by 10 hp. Mine has the 2G with vacuum/centrifugal governor. I had thought about experimenting with a stock factory 4 bbl. manifold and Q-Jet to see if I could improve the off idle drivability and gain fuel economy, it wouldn't cost much since I have the parts. I like to keep things as original as possible so I haven't proceeded.
