On olds 350 is there a difference between 2 barrel and 4 barrel? Can i just swap intakes of the motors

Question

i have both, the motor with the 4 barrel is installed, but has problems. i want to get the original 2 barrel rebuilt and swapit out with the 4 barrel for which i already have a new carb. i was thinking after i get it rebuilt i could just swap the intakes.

Answer 1

if you want to put the 2bbl. back on you will have to put the 2bbl. intake on your engine and visa vera with the 4bbl.

Answer 2

yes you can build your 2b engine and install the 4b manifold on it no problem

Answer 3

Not quite sure if I understand what you are trying to say. The motor with the 4 brl has problems , and you are going to replace it with a rebuilt 2 brl . But you already have a new 4 brl carb . Overall yes you can just swap intakes, but you will increase your fuel consumption with the 2 brl vs the 4
