I haven't looked closely at one, but I would imagine the factory intakes could be modified to accept the 2bbl Holley carbs at the flange without an adapter.

Here's a pic of the iron intake I modified to accept Holley 4bbl carbs at the flange. The extra material required was added via NiCi welding rod, then machined flat and tapped for 5/16" threads. Since the holes go into the runners, they are capped off when not in use.

Making up fuel lines is a breeze with a good bender, and all the fittings available these days. We make our own fuel lines for Tri Power Restorations, in lieu of using what's available aftermarket.....Cliff
