What do I need to change my 2 barrel to a 4 barrel

I have a 1970 fury lll convertible, it has a 318 2 barrel. I have a
holly aluminum intake with a edelbroke 4 barrel carburetor that I plan
on putting on this summer.
Can anyone tell me what is in a kit to convert from a 2 barrel to a 4
barrel? I what to make sure that I have everything I need before I take
it apart.

You pretty much have it. A manifold(or adapter plate) to fit your carb
and a 4bbl carb. A gasket set of course.

Make sure that your linkage will match up appropriately.

Nothing to it.

Some gaskets need RTV in the corners, not sure about those but it is
handy to have.

I think you will need headers and maybe dual exhaust as well. The last
4 bbl swap I helped a friend do turned it into a pig because of stock
exhaust manifolds and single pipe. It only sounded cool. We changed it
back.

Yeah, with the appropriate 4-bbl intake manifold, and the right gaskets,
all that's left is the linkage hookup, and that isn't much more than a
bit of fussing. Be alert to the possible need for a new air cleaner
assembly to fit the 4-bbl throat.

Thanks JW I have the gaskets,I was wondering if I would have to change
the linkage or springs.The 318 never did come with a 4bbl carb,so the
linkage has me a little worried.

Thanks I have a new chrome air cleaner kit that I will be installing
along with new chrome valve covers.

I already have duel exhaust, I was told that headers for my C-body are
hard to fine. I have been looking but can't seem to get any for my 1970
C-body.

Probably not.... I did an exchange on a 63 galaxy... from a 2 barrel to
a 4 barrel. I used an Edelbrock high rise manifold with a Holley 4 barrel
(650 cfm) and (I believe) an adapter for the carb. It may have already come
with the kit though... that was many years ago... let me tell you...... it
made an extreme amount of difference in the cars performance. I was
literally shocked at how much power I got just from that small change.
You may want to talk to the place you got the parts from to see if you
are missing something

Good Luck...

You don't say if you're running an A/T or M/T.

An A/T will require additional linkage for the "Kickdown" and adjustment of
this linkage.

Hi Dave it is Auto/T when I got the carb I told them it was for a 318
mopar.I guess I will fine out when I take it apart and reinstall.
