OHV six carburator / intake manifold.....

[54-61-62]

Okay, I've been running my custom 62 OHV six that has a 185 crank in it and bored to practical maximum. I'm at a nominal 200 cubic inches.

I'm NOT at all satified with the stock carburator setup. I had the carburator professionally rebuilt but still not happy. I've personally had the carb apart several times and have not made any substantial improvement. The carb works but just seems really crude. At times it will load up and other times pop due to being too lean. Sometimes I get really good performance out of it and other times downright really poor. Not to mention I'm getting a poor 14mpg (and with a 3.31 rear axle!).

Does anyone know of some modern replacement carb that will work on the OHV sixes? I know theres several replacement carbs for the V8's but anybody know of anything that will work on the six?

Also, anybody ever know of an aftermarket duel-carb setup for an OHV six? I've heard rumors of that some exist but I've never confirmed that.

thanks!

Clifford used to have intakes, cams and headers for every known six in the universe. But over the last 15 years they've really cut back on what they carry. You might check with them and see if they had something designed for that engine and if so, would they cast one for you. All they can say is no.

Clifford intakes show up frequently at swapmeets.Imagine they are on ebay.Split exhausts are harder to come by.I have a bookmark somewhere of a guy who will build both if you provide the manifolds.I'll see if I can locate it
