Intake and Carb ?????

[Snowy Rivers]

Hey troops
Got an 85 Class C Chevy chassis motorhome with the 350 in it.

The thing has sat few years and the carb is nasty skanked from sour fuel.
This is an 85 so it has the myriad hosed emission setup with air pump and all the other crap.

I dont have emissions testing here and would like to upgrade the intake and carb to something far simpler and better.

I am thinking of an Elelbrock performer with the Edelbrock Carb 4 barrel cab too.

I am thinking of a 600 CFM #1400 style carb with electric choke.

The engine is stock with stock cam and exhaust.

Just want reliable running rig.

Whatever I use has to allow for proper airfilter fit in the VAN Doghouse.

Please, any suggestions are very welcome.

I'll take a pre- CC quadrabog any day over an Edelbrock or Holley.......

OHHHH Yesss. the old QJ is a great carb, IFFFFFFFFFFFFFF you can find a good one.

The Cali emission unit thats on the rig, I am told are a nightmare, and add to that sitting full of sour fuel for several years just rules it out.

Just not a lot of good inexpensive choices.

I scoured though the bone yards and all I found was used up dirty junk.

Still thinking about what to do.

I may consider a Holley projection unit.

I had a two barrel unit on a shorty 4x4 a few years ago and it was marvelous.

Jet http://www.jetchip.com/JET_Carburetors.asp can hook you up with whatever you need Quad-wise for just a bit more than generic Holley, E-brock stuff from Summit...

most Quad's can easily be rebuilt, i probably have a 1/2 dozen kicking around the shop... only semi-difficult issue is if they need throttle shaft bushings...

Ended up getting a Holley 670 CFM stand alone TBI setup for the beast.

Fellow I have chatted with at another truck forum had it from a previous truck and let me have it real right.

I have used these before and had great success so decided to give it ago on this project.

Should have it in a couple days or so.

We shall see.
