We're looking to do the 2v conversion on our '74 Comet with a 250 and the plan is to have the shop mill out the hole to an oval for the 2 barrel spacer.
The purpose is to go with a Holley 2300 Sniper 2-barrel EFI system. Our only worry is clearance, since the 250 is a taller motor. The Holley website says the Sniper is 3.28 inches tall. I'm also concerned about the larger round top plate where the air cleaner goes. Will the valve cover interfere in any way? I've seen people do 2 barrel conversions on Mustangs that works fine. Just haven't seen it done on a Maverick or Comet.
Oh, and yes, we plan to have the head tanked, valve job, and port/polish work. I'm just concerned about height to make sure we can close the hood and any other clearance issues.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
