Are you pulling the transmission with it? If so, I recommend one of these --> https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-g1021
It will help balance the load. I will be reinstalling the engine and trans back in my 64 as a unit, and this is the item I got.
When I pulled the engine out by itself, had the intake off of it, and I bolted my chain to two opposing ends at the manifold mounting location. It worked out fine.

I used a single chain, and attached it at pass side rear most intake man bolt hole, and driver side front most bolt hole. Hook the hoist at about center of chain and away you go!

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
