Hello there guys! My name is Cody. I've been lurking around here for a while now and have a question for you guys. I've got a 1976 Scamp with a 225 single barrel carter and 3-speed on the floor. Just recently aquired a '73 225 with a single Holley as well that claims to have been rebuilt. I have been trying to gather parts up for a turbo build and so far have a Toyota CT26 off a 3.0 diesel with MAF and o2 sensor (tho for now im going to go carb) and recently found a Holley 2300 2 bbl at work, gotta love working in a scrap yard, it seems to be in great condition. I ran the numbers and it has a 5 digit List# which evidently makes it a Marine carb. My research says that it differs in venting from the auto version via venting of the float bowls into the throat of the carb and has sealed shafts all so no vapors leak into the bilge of the boat. So my question is if this carb could be a used in a blow through set up on a car? A blow through carb will have to be sealed off to outside pressure anyways which would include the vents anways would it not?
Thanks in advance for your time.
P.S. This car is my DD, I plan on around 10 psi, an intercooler, keeping 3-speed but eventually want a T-5 (as I run 2 hrs a day on the highway and crave a closer ratio as well) just looking for some mpg efficiency and some extra, Keeping motor stock less maybe some porting and cam. As I am on an extreme budget (Single income family of 4
) I will try and just modify existing componentis ie. intake and exhaust manifolds to work with turbo and 2bbl.Sorry this is kinda long winded.
