I have a '65 chevy 230 6. I would like to put a 4-barrel intake and carb on it. Can anyone recommend an easy bolt on hassle free set-up (offy,clifford, etc.)Thanks for all the help

Some Monday morning sarcasm. If you want "hassle free" leave it stock! 4bbl to 1bbl adapter are you serious.

The easiest carb upgrade would be Stovebolts Holly/Weber with a 2bbl to 1bbl adapter. The cost is right too.

The Offy 4bbl manifold is thought to be the best street manifold. You will have to adapt the throttle linkage or replace with a cable. In addition you may have add a heater box under the carb for best performance, if you also have headers.

Actually that might not be correct. The primary on the Holley/Weber is smaller than the stock 1bbl. Then it all depends on how you drive too.

I like the Offy aluminum manifolds for 2 or 3 1-bbl's...seems more efficient to get the carb(s) closer to the ports. Besides, nothing looks cooler than a row of carbs!

If you can't fix it with a hammer and screwdriver, you need a bigger hammer.

the 2 or 3 carb setup does look cooler, but can be a little bit of a chore to get/keep the carbs all set correctly. he said hassle free right? grin

$230.00 for a Offy four barrel intake.

$350.00 for a New Holley 390 CFM carb.

$35.00 thottle linkage parts

It all comes to how much,do you want to spend.

I think the quick answer to your original question is no, there is no adapter for 1bbl to 4bbl. Here is a link to the 2bbl h/w carb. I use one on my 250 inline and it works great!
