would it be feasible to make an adapter for the stock intake easily? My idea is to get a holley 4bbl gasket and a stock nikki gasket and to make some sort of metal adapter plate out of the differences between the two.


- OR -

does anyone know of an adapter plate for a holley premade? maybe a generic-holley to stock 12a manifold

 

theres a guy on this forum that's tried this and i think with some success. he took a couple holley spacers and drilled the holes for the nikki bolt pattern, then he had to use some sort of seperator in between each rotors barrels under the carb, but i think he said it brought his times (1/4 mile) down considerably. i dunno, but he's the only person i can think of.

 

I did exactly that with mine, drilled the plate for the stock manifold and bolted it up. It ran, it even ran well, it just never ran purrrrfect.

Way to think outside the box though!!

 

Hopefully I will be wrapping up the mega-fuel manifold soon and I can get the holley manifold completed.

if you have no idea of what I am talking about then click my sig.

 

Peejay is teh one who worked on this with limited sucess, but good ideas and worth reading.

 

I saw one a couple of weeks ago in the junk yard, but I think it deserved to be where it was and I didnt bother trying to take it. It looked very homade!
