Upgrading to an Edelbrock Performer intake and a 600 CFM carburetor can significantly enhance the performance of your 1976 Chevy 305 by improving airflow and fuel delivery. This combination typically offers better throttle response and increased horsepower, especially at higher RPMs. However, ensure that your engine is in good condition and consider supporting modifications, such as headers or an exhaust upgrade, to maximize the benefits of these changes. Proper tuning will also be essential to get the most out of your new setup.
Maybe a little, but not much. If you're removing an iron intake, you'd save some weight.
Or from autozone you can buy a quadra-jet to standard adapter plate if you don't have that edelbrock or if you have a holleythe intake manifold is hopefully what youre talking about and the answer is noAnsweryes you can. if you have a stock intake manifold, which uses a quadrajet carb, you can use edelbrock part number #2696 which you can buy from summit racing (www.summitracing.com). it allows you to use an edelbrock performer square bore carb on the stock quadrajet manifold. for that motor i recommend the edelbrock #1406 which you can also get from summit.
The torker 2 is a single-plane design, so it won't work as well as a 2-plane such as a Performer or Performer RPM.
around 220hp i would say
Here is the installation instructions for the Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake manifold for a Ford 351M/400...hope it helps out. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/misc/tech_center/install/2000/2171.pdf
I don't think the bolt pattern is the same but you can buy an adapter that bolts to your intake that will accept the Edelbrock.
A 2-plane manifold such as the Edelbrock Performer or similar would be a good choice.
Im gonna say it will be fine, I have a 84 with a 307, just got a performer 600 carb with the 2711 performer intake! You should be good to go, its when you go higher. Although, they say dont go any higher than a 600 on a stock 350 olds :/
the edelbrock website should have that info.
DEPENDS ON WHAT TYPE OF INTAKE AND CARB. YOU'RE BEST BET IS TO GO TO EDLEBROCK.COM, ENTER THE CARBS MODEL NUMBER, AND GET A SPEC SHEET THAT THEY PROVIDE.
I have never seen a cast iron edelbrock intake so I would think not.
I would get an Edelbrock performer 4bbl. intake manifold with a Edelbrock 600 CFM. carb, summit racing has everything you need. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holley 650 double pumper for the win!
