Member Posts: 18 Location: Pinon Hills, CA | So I picked up a edelbrock 1404 for my 57 315 Hemi engine. It has the stock 4bbl manifold on it and I obviously need some sort of carb adapter. However, I am confused on what type I need. Thanks! Edited by 59bisquik 2017-05-04 8:39 PM (IMG_1312.JPG) Attachments ---------------- IMG_1312.JPG (117KB - 283 downloads) | ||

As for the adapter, it would have to be Edelbrock 1404 to Carter WCFB (Small spread 4 bbl). Somebody will correct me IF I am wrong. | ||

Member Posts: 18 Location: Pinon Hills, CA | Maybe I got the date code wrong... but the block and head casting numbers show it as a 315. What brand/part number adapter do I use? I have seen multiple ones and not sure which is the right one. Trans-Dapt 2062? Offenhauser 5282A? | ||

Expert Posts: 3035 Location: N.W. Fla. | http://hothemiheads.com/dodge/intake_manifolds/adapter_quad_holley.... Not sure on the Dodge intakes, but on the Chr ones you can open up the bore holes in the intake (and adaptor) to match the holes in the carb. Eliminates restrictor plate driving! Install longer studs. Edited by Mopar1 2017-05-05 6:19 PM | ||

Member Posts: 18 Location: Pinon Hills, CA | Great! So it looks like the 5285a will fit then. Once I get it, I can get out my die grinder and port match it too, so no restrictor plate racing! Edited by 59bisquik 2017-05-05 5:38 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 3779 Location: NorCal | I used the adapter in the link below. Requires a little rework, there are impressions on the plate that can be drilled and countersunk to attach the plate using the original stud holes. http://www.jegs.com/i/RPC/707/R2064/10002/-1?CAWELAID=2300061800047...

Regular Posts: 58 | Bisquik have you found a place that has 5282a in stock? Summit has a estimated ship date of nov 2017 for those. | ||

Member Posts: 18 Location: Pinon Hills, CA | I called trans-dapt and the 2062 is a bot on adapter. It is like the 2064 shown above, but already drilled and ready to go. Should be here in a few days. | ||

Member Posts: 18 Location: Pinon Hills, CA | Got the carb adapter today and definitely looks like some restrictions here. Will have to pull out the due grinder for a bit of port matching. (IMG_1385.JPG) Attachments ---------------- IMG_1385.JPG (100KB - 288 downloads) | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9684 Location: So. Cal | How do you secure the studs for the larger carb in that thin section? Seems like they should have made it solid there so you could get some threads to hold the studs in those regions. What am I missing? | ||

Member Posts: 18 Location: Pinon Hills, CA | It has some nuts and such that fit in slots on the underside. Not the greatest design in my opinion. | ||

Expert Posts: 3035 Location: N.W. Fla. | Powerflite - 2017-05-12 11:15 PM on the adaptor I used I installed longer studs in the intake....How do you secure the studs for the larger carb in that thin section? ? | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 888 Location: Peoples Republic of Oregon | The intake manifold in question is not drilled for the later AFB pattern but doing so would make for a better assembly IMHO. Also, given the design of the manifold I might suggest using a 'funnel' adapter (tapered ports) and nix the die grinder since this is a stock engine. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8444 Location: Perth Australia | If that edelbrock is the same as what I had, its more like a spread bore than a square bore I had to use an adaptor to go from square up to spread (kind of a funnel plate) on my 2x4, but the 57 manifold has the smaller bores in the intake (I have a 57 poly 4 barrel manifold here) that you could drill your own holes to bolt it down to the manifold but a lot of die grinding would still need to be done and as the manifold is dual plane, getting all the way down to the bottom will be a big job | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 888 Location: Peoples Republic of Oregon | Speedway has a tapered port unit, #135-1935. Kinda cheap at $20 on ebay..... If you can accurately drill the manifold for the bigger bolt pattern then the adapter is only a spacer and you get rid of the funky ½-nuts gizmos that hold the studs. Using a tapered port adapter on an otherwise stock engine is not going to affect operation. | ||

Member Posts: 18 Location: Pinon Hills, CA | Hmmmm. That one looks the same as mine. Mine has tapered ports already. | ||
