anyone know where you can get an adaptor for a 350 holley carby to suit a 1.3?

I very highly doubt you'll get a 350 holley running anywhere near ok on a 1.3! Unless your going forced induction? I had a 40DFI i think it was on my 1.3 and it ran like crap. It did run but super super rich as it is made for big 6's.

A 350 holley wont run on a 1.3 or 1.6.
A 350 holley is too big for a 202 Holden red motor to run correctly.
180 Holley is still too big for a zook, and why would you they are as good as a siphen hose into the manifold when you place them on any angle.
Webber is a much better choice but still keep it standard with the origional carby, better economy and much more reliable off road.

A 180 holley is a copy of a 32/36weber as far as I can gather. I'm pretty sure they bolt on to the same adapter plate. I agree that when a stock carby is running right they are the best thing on a 1.3. The thing is getting one going right and staying that way for awhile. My stock carby can take my drover well above legal road speeds and is great on angles but it is a pain in the a$$ when cold.

Not percific to the 350 on a 1.3 or offroad, but the Holleys are very tuneable.

Ran a few 500 2bl's on worked holden 6's years ago, and while low end response suffered a bit, they could be made to run quite well. Lots of stuffing around with PV channel restrictions to get it right and retain drivability with reasonable ecconomy, but could be made to work very well for a carb thats 'too big'. Bit more in tuning them that just changing jets and power valves.

Seen a 465 4bl running sweet on a 1.6 (Gemini), but it was there mainly for show. Again, lots of tuning time to get it there.

Wouldn't consider one for a 1.3L motor tho.

Wouldn't a 350 be overkill on a 1.3ltr.....
