Thread: 1972 buick 350

I am looking for information for a intake for a buick 350 to convert from a 2bbl to a 4bbl. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you asking how to do it or what to buy?

I am asking what to buy?

Camshaft, heads, compression, age of motor. They all play a factor in your selection. Is the engine stock?

The engine is stock. The engine was rebuilt 200 miles ago, but sat for 3 years. Engine has a 2bbl rochester on it. 85000 miles on the engine total. Looking a the build sheet for the motor it was rebuilt to factory specs

Put an Edlebrock Performer on it. Works well with even stock motors.

I have been looking on Edlebrocks website, and they don't have one that will fit on a buick 350 block. they have one for the 283, 400, and 455, but not the 350. I have found these 2 any thoughts

Stage 1. That's your performer copy. I also couldn't find it in my newest catalog. I looked up in an older catologue (1980) and they had a B4-B that was the closest they made for the 350. No longer available also. Would you be adverse to scrounging up a stock 4 BBL?

thanks denny I saw the one that was sandblasted and considered that one, but I am wondering what difference will it make verses an aftermarket one.

You can get a plane old cast intake and Q-Jet carb pretty cheap.I put a 79 Buick 4bbl intake and carb on my 1971 Buick 350 Block.
Also this site is great for Buick stuff.. www.V8buick.com .

I have an edlebrock 650CFM carb to use. Is that too much for a stock 4bbl carb?
