Im lookin to direct mount my holley 2300 to my 80+ head and the shops wants to know what 2 barrel spacer to get. Help me out guys, were almost there!

Matt, 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

Matt, you will not be disapointed, the performance & totally driveability is very dramatic. William

Boy howdy I cant wait. I had a feeling my head was cracked when I was finding oil in my coolant, but me...I guess you can call it, EX-shop told me it was nothing but a water pump... few months later, tear the motor down after timing chain snaps and what do we find, cracked head...in fact, crack is so darn big the head shop didnt even have to magniflux it. I was pissed, but had already done my homework and had a brand new big log, big valve head in sight. Im so excited I can barely sit here and type...and were still a good ways away from getting it done, lol. I will re-send those pics to the shop and tell them how yall did the work. Thanks again guys
