Aluminum intake for 1979 350 Olds

Gentlemen,

trying to expand my search for an aluminum intake for our 1979 Hurst Olds 350 spreadbore Quadra jet carburetor.

thanks!

 

I'm pretty sure I've got one. Let me check and see after I get off work Thurs evening.

 

PM’ d you. Thanks!

 

Are you looking for a factory aluminum intake or aftermarket? Thanks, Bob.

 

Probably aftermarket, hoping to eliminate the smog system that is currently on the car. I removed the AIR pump and I’m getting rid of those exhaust manifolds as well. Probably going to put headers on the car. Would also entertain a better carburetor and anything to help enhance the lethargic 350

so I’m looking to do minor upgrades and hopefully boost the power a little bit from the stock 170 neck breaking ponies.

 

Darren, call me asap, might have what you need and other H/O pieces.

I have an Edelbrock Performer with minor run time on it, if you're interested. Another thing that would help is to "bump" the cam timing 10 deg. By advancing the camshaft one tooth on the cam gear, you move the torque curve to a lower rpm range. I've done this on a friend's El Dorado Baritz after we replaced the diesel engine, with a stock, used 403 Olds engine. The driveability and fuel mileage were unbelievable. Prior to that, it couldn't get out of it's own way. Just a thought.

 

Here's what I've got. It's an Edelbrock Performer 350 #3711. I will clean it up in a solvent tank and glass bead blast it. I'll mask the mounting surfaces off before I blast it. All the mounting surfaces will be cleaned by hand(no air grinder/scotchbrite discs!) All the threaded holes look good so far, I'll check them after blasting and I will helicoil any bad holes. I'll take $50 + shipping for it.

I'll clean it up and check all the holes if you tell me you're still interested, and I'll post more pics after it's cleaned up for final approval.

Let me know.

 

I will take it sir! Thank you. Shipping will be to sarasota, florida. 34243

 

Thanks for the info brother! I’ll do that with the timing gear. The car is certainly a slug right now

 

Let me get it cleaned up and boxed up and figure out a shipping cost and I'll PM you what the shipping will be. I'll try to get you a shipping quote by Mon night latest(hope to have it by Sat afternoon).

I'll get it cleaned up tomorrow and post more pics.

 

Thanks brother, I talked to your contact today and look forward to hopefully seeing you guys at the BOP show on the 24th

 

Hey Larry, trying to save money on the little upgrade project for my 15-year-old who is just getting ready to drive.

Guys here have been great helping me. Appreciate all of your input.

 

feel free to PM me with $ and photos. I may just start collecting parts and make a decision on what I will keep and what I’ll pass along to someone else who might need it.

another guy said the performer is the way to go on these.
