Outstanding detail!

Fellas, just to put in a good word for Joseph--------pictures don't do these carbs justice! I just got my set in the mail, and they are OUTSTANDING! If you have a Hemi 'Cuda build planned in the future, you owe to yourself to pick up a set of these carbs!

I think you mean AVS , it was used on 340's

Nope...BBD. I want to make 340s into 318s; different carb and the 2-bbl. intake.

I got you now your changing 340's into 318's then that would be correct.sorry about that!

[Chief Joseph]

Have you considered doing a Carter BBD, I think it's called? The 2-bbl. Chrysler used on a lot of small-blocks. It'll make making 340s into 318s a lot easier.

Charlie Larkin

Hi Charlie; The Carter BBD is truly a piece that I would never have thought to do.  The only 2bbl carbs I have thought about doing are the Rochester and Holley carbs used on tripower and six pack performance motors.  Do you have any size references for the BBD?  I can probably make one just from photographs if I had the basic dimensions like air horn diameter, bore diameter, flange dimension, and overall height.  Are there any kits that have the BBD and a 2bbl intake for the 318?

Thanks,
Joseph

do you need an actual thermo quad carb in order to produce the scale version?

Unfortunately, I don't have anything immediately handy, but I can see if I can scare up something at one of the local junkyards. Dodge trucks and vans sold fairly well around here and most were 318-powered. If I can find something, would photos on all five visible surfaces be acceptable, with a visible ruler?

I'll see if I can scare up a 2-bbl. intake, too. I would suspect any of the LA-block 4-bbls. would be a good starting point.

It's not strictly necessary to have the actual item in hand, but it sure does make the process a lot easier and faster.

Photos are easy to come by, but hardly anybody puts a ruler into the picture, too.  The measurements are crucial to getting the correct scale.
