I just bought an '80 buick lesabre for a demolition car. It has a recently rebuilt small block(non-original) with a rochester 1 barrel carb. The guy I bought it from thought it was either a 350 or 307, but wasn't sure. Does anyone know what this engine could be? It just looks like a typical chevy small block but I've never seen one with a 1 bbl carb before. Thanks.

Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 1,177 | The only 1bbl carb V8 GM ever made was in 1933. I can't imagine that a 1bbl Rochester could even keep a V8 idling, much less get something moving. Small blocks came with 2bbl and 4bbl Rochesters. | | |

if it dosen't need fixed, break it

One barrel Rochesters are on sixes, but I seem to recall something like what you are speaking of but would bet that that carb is a two barrel. I will say- anything is possible- but a one barrel on a V8? Not good. Why would you do it? Get some numbers off from the motor and the carb. We can help you more with that info..
