Bring the model number to any lawn service center... Most likely can locate the intake styles on a schematic or microfische. Might want to check with CPP and see if he has any matches or aftermarket line ups!!!

I was kind of wondering what others were running. I can get a
one barrel or two it seems..

just curious.

To my knowledge everything that's been done so far have been one-off customs, but there is talk of deveolping some. Have no idea what kind of pricing they will be. Smallblock dueled out Wilson a while back, might check his thread out!

I will say it again (sorry if it offends anyone) I would use a single carb to match the CC of the engine (build or have one built) an intake to fit your stock manifold. A single would be much less accelerator cable linkage work and you would not beleive the throttle responce:thumbup But you must take into consideration, engine to seat space/air cleaner space and the costs. I would realy like to "prefab" units for members,but there are just to many facters. Good luck Dave

I listen to what Smallblock says! That guy is awesome!!!

Smallblock450SL, I think you got me wrong..

I am simply adding, or looking to add, the stock two barrel carb
with 90 turn down, into a double port stock manifold.

There are pics of them all over the place, and the part I need is the
dual port (one for each cylinder) manifold, the turn down, and the
carb, plus spacers and gaskets..(I may be calling it a "turn down" and it may be called a spacer)

I am converting an NG/LP unit to gas. I think the single barrel carb that
comes on the lower CC Vanguard's , like the 18's or so (I am guessing) would bolt right on my manifold, and I am going to run that setup temporarily..
But ultimately, I am looking at getting the correct amount of fuel to
this motor..It is a 627 CC 38000 series block.

Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents worth. That Briggs stuff can be expensive. Good luck, and I see anything, I'll let you know.

Hey I'll tell you what, thanks for your response.. I appreciate it.

I might just wind up running it on propane..I have all the goodies to do it.
The high output venturi and solenoid, throttle body, etc..

What I don't have is a fearlessness about gases I cannot see. Anything that will blow up, but you can't see it...no thanks.

propane will let you run angles that the stock two barrell will not. reason dave switch and I am thinking of switching to a single mikuni. I now have a extra 40mm mikuni CV on my bench - spare for my 500cc quad. hmm
