4 bbl intake manifold on 304

[chewief16]

Does anyone know how I can convert a 345 spread bore intake manifold to fit on my newly rebuilt 304 engine? I am aware that Super Scout Specialists sell one but since I already ave one I was wondering if it only needs to be machined to fit or if I need an adapter.

You would need to machine the intake manifold so it was about 1" narrower - at that point, you have no mounting tabs left.

Get that solved, and then you'll need to fill the intake runners on the manifold so they have a square port into the square-port 304 heads, vs. the rectangular port 345/392 setup.

In short, "no."

SSS doesn't sell a 4bbl intake - GUS did, and Light Line of Louisiana (that bought GUS) *might*..

Otherwise, you could try "slotting" the 2bbl 304 intake, machining the top flat, and redrilling for a 4bbl..

Or bust out the welder and some tubing and build a sheetmetal intake.

This is not the BB, drop the tude, or you will not last long around here. Go search the Heep board for Newbie and read up. BTW Why don't you come to work for me as an admin and check my spelling.

Just a simple lack of respect.....

I spent a good three months just hanging around here, reading the posts and getting a feel for the boards. For the most part all other boards out on the web are mellow, polite, and PC, not here. You better have thick skin <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0"> All 'Chewie' had to do was read the post about the Binder Board out of action to know what he was in for. I suspect that Chewie will never post again, or maybe start posting after a couple of counseling sessions to deal with the issues about his mother, dog, and the guy next door. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

At least the IH board has not heading the route of the Heep board. I truly feel for the extreme Heep guys, they can't get a question in edge wise.

BTW, why the hell can't people use the search button, I admit I'm guilty of it too, but shit you can at least read the current topics prior to posting.

TSM1MT Thanks for the information. JDJANDA and YDB if this really gets you that excited you might want to rethink your life priorities. The reason I need the info now and unable to wait for the BB is because I am deploying and need my Scout to be operational for my family in my absence. And you are right I won't be posting on this board for a while I will be defending your way of life
