Thread: 2x2 or 3x2 for my 283

Tweet

I ran 3X2 with rochester carb/s and with Stromberg 97's on 283's for years, I like the rochesters alot better than the 97's , when it got 131,000 miles I put a 2X4 tunnle with holley 600's on it and a small factory cam, and still had the oem heads, I only put on a couple X miles, I hit a ice patch when I had the peddle down and pop! I couldn't find 2 cylinders and pistons and a BIG hole in the block and pan from side to side!
I ran 2- 283's and a 327, 350 with 3X2's and never had a to much fuel problem.
They are easy to set, and even easier if you go buy a $10.-15.00 synchronizer! Just take your time, read and listen to what people that run/tune them say. I have had something with 2 or more carbs, since the 60's and I have 2 Dellorto on my trike!

I have 3 dueces on the 383 in my 46. I've been running them for about 7 years now and I can tell you they are great. I'm running Rochester 2G's on an Offy manifold. As long as you run them progressive, you shouldn't have any synchronization problems.

They can be a little pricey to set up with the correct bases and linkage though. I got my parts through Hot Rod Carburetion, but the link I had for them doesn't work anymore. The guy I spoke with back then was very helpful and knew what he was talking about. The pics I have looked at of the Speedway conversion kits look exactly like the stuff I used. I have read that Speedway's kits are made by Vintage Speed.

I going to be setting up another set for my T in the near future and I'll post the build-up there. I'll use a Speedway kit.

I like the 56 to 61 dual fours. They idle on both carbs and run on the rear carb till you stand on it.

I'm running 8X1's in my T Coupe
