Direct mount 2bbl help

[Anonymous]

I dropped a 250 head off at the machine shop yesterday. I want to direct mount a 2bbl and I know plenty of people have had success with this. My machinist asked me for specific procedures. I told him that it is a bit of an improvised project. The head is from an 82 Futura and will be going on my 67 mustang 200. Is the carb mounting area to be ground at an angle, maybe that of the original? I know Jonny put up some pics of his project, but I liked mustang geezer's approach. I was looking for some pics or specifics that I can show my machinist.

Thanks,
Steve

Steve, take a look at my deal. William
steve, like doug says, you have to make your own. I also milled the plate with a taper with the thinner side forward to try to maintain a horizonal surface. I also used a mr gasket or someother spacer to place the holley up so i did,t have to cut the lower part of the throttle lever from hitting the intake. Its tougher to machine but a 1" thick adapter would be better than my deal. My homemade adapter to the manifold is 1/2 " thats why i had to add the other .675 " adapter. See my previous post i made last year. between mine & dougs you should be able to come up with a workable deal. Till the aluminium heads finally hit the market or a good argie, aussi head it will really help performance greatly. I can only imagine a good argie or a good oz head is probably the cheaper route & with more performance. William

Steve, the machine shop will have to fill in the low spots at the top of the log before maching to get a full sealing surface for the adapter. They had to preheat the head & braze in the low areas.
