Kickdown linkage 2bbl to 4bbl, Small block

[1970FuryConv]

If I have a kickdown linkage from 1973 360 V8 with Holley 2210 2 bbl, which seems a fairly wide carb, will that kickdown linkage also work on a 4bbl if I use a spread bore factory intake and a thermoquad? Thanks, Ben

More than likely no. Two popular kits are Lokar and Bouchillon.

"Width" is not really the issue, it is the new location of the 4bbl's primary barrels and related throttle/kickdown linkage attachment point.

Just an observation,

I'm sure it could work with a little finessing, However finding original 4bbl stuff would be a direct swap.

I do this all the time. If you’re not afraid to tweak or bend the stuff it’ll work ok. That’s my 40+ years of making 2 to 4 swaps. The main issue w a kickdown not being long enough (not enough throw) is if you raise the carb w a spacer or 2to4 adapter. You’ll get it done !!!!

Good luck w the swap - post pics LoL!!!

Glad it's possible that the 2 bbl linkage could work (with a little tinkering). I do not want to use a spacer with a factory intake.

You should really get the right parts so u don’t kill the tranny. Mancini sells what u need. Kim
