Got around to taking a good look at it yesterday and found what I think might be a show stopper. The ports on the Tattersfield are about 1/16” smaller than the intake ports on my motor. The motor is from a 54 ½ ton. I’d guess this duel carb intake is for a 216 or an early 235. My question is am I hosed or can I have a machine shop mill the Tattersfield intake port to fit the head. It looks like there is plenty of thickness on the manifold to do so. Or make a set of step down intake sealing rings. I love the look of the Tattersfield old school intake and would sure like to be able to make it work. Thanks’ for any help. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | .

Sounds like you can use it if you want to it just takes a little more work than you first expected.

Seems that this issue is not a new one. Step down sealing rings are available. Also found out that the 216 ring will fit inside the 235's ring. Not the big deal I was thinking it was. Thank's for the answers. | | |
