Who makes a dual carb intake for a GMC 228? If the 4 barrel makes me look silly, I would go with the dually Infact I would prefer it. The dual carbs just looks tough. Everybody has intakes for the chevy. Where can I get a dual for the GMC 228?
GMC dual intake Tom Langdon may even have one. I sold one to him several years back, a Nicson, I believe.
If anyone has one I'd think it would be Dave Aos of Cedar Hill, Texas 972-291-4391. He brings a FRACTION of the ones he has to the Decatur, Texas swap meet each year (Feb. 24-27 2012).
somebody had said that 4 barrels were made for a V8 and to put one on a inliner would be foolish and make me look silly.
Bad Hot Rodding They also make you look ignorant because the L6's long intake runners cannot possibly deliver fuel equally from a large , centrally mounted 4BBL carby ~ if you want to go fast , use multiple carbys , one for each intake port (3) is the best but for ease of installation and tuning most go with two carbys..... ' you canna change the laws of Physics Jim ! ' .
Thanks for the input guys Guy out in Arizona sells the 5 carb Howard, were you can run 2-3 or 5 carbs. How cool is that? Anything would be a huge improvement from what she was
The exception to this is the Chrysler slant 6. It was offered with a Hyper Pack which used a Carter AFB 4bbl for carburetion and along with other factory goodies ran like a scalded dog. The intake manifold was what Chevy and Ford inliners could only dream about.
Bypass Oil Filter brand/type ? Hey there I became cureous when i saw your engine picture and have a minor question . What is the brand and model bypass oilfilter you have hoocked up here ? Did you had to make any adjustments to make it work ? Apriciate Martinius.
GMV 228 intake Hi ctzr1, if you find a good place, for your intake needs, could you please let us know, where to go and get one? As my intake is pretty rough, i might as well go for the dual carby option, instead off finding a used one. I fixed it with cold metal for now, but i don´t like this kind of repair. TIA
I sent you a PM blue flame with the link. But for everybody else I got the idea from inliners.org in the tech section under full flow oil filter. Its there for GMC and Chevy.cause as you know they are different. although these engines lasted a good long time with a bypass filter system of filtering what, 20% of the oil. I thought how long would it last on a full flow. Then you can buy a bypass filter head and a fram filter. I just have to mount mine yet. I was probably going to weld a bracket to my Alternator bracket when I get it and mount it there.
When I find one I'll let you know. But what I am finding out is that if you go with the Fenton Exhaust Headers you'll need to go with a Fenton Intake because the flange thickness is different from say the Offenhauser. I am sure you could probably rig and grind to make em match up but I did not want to have to do that. Fenton makes a 4 barrel intake why don't they make a duce or a tri?
As a fellow 228er, I'm loving what I'm seeing! I, too, have drooled over the idea of dual carbs on my 228. I asked a fellow who sells stuff on this site about intakes, but never got boo back, so... I would imagine that Patrick's has what it takes since he rebuilds these. Good luck!
Hey Charles, is that for a 228? You can find stuff for Chevy engines all day long, but GMC stuff, not so much... Great picture, though!
Thanks ccharr I have been drooling over vintagespeed web site. I would love to bolt down a couple /few stromberg 9super7's to my GMC if I could find the manifold. Chevys... up the ying yang but nothing for that looooong motor. Hopefully with the attention this thread is getting somebody is gonna come thru. I will probably call Patrick's tomorrow to get his input.thanks
I will call him too. This site is invaluable for information but nothing can beat ..picking up the phone Thanks ccharr
4 barrel on a GMC 228 I down loaded this picture a couple of years ago off the net of a 4 barrel on a GMC 228. I always thought it looked cool. If its your truck.. Thanks for the photo, It looks awsome I hope the performance is just as cool.
well I found a 4 barrel intake on Ebay I think. and bought a set of fenton headers. I even got them installed tooo coool
