Yes, BUT, you lose all the advantages of the dual plane design for two reasons: 1. The adapter is open plenum 2. In order to fit around the brake booster, you have to mount the carb sideways. I'm sure you could have an adapter machined up to fit without an open plenum, and mount a smaller brake...

You can't put a quadrajet on an Offy 4 barrel dual plane manifold. You need an Edelbrock 1403 or 1404, tuned down. Or find an old 400CFM Carter AFB, and rebuild it.

Brand is important, though. When I used to run pennzoil, I could smell that crap BURNING in my engine. Not ggod. Since the rebuild, I've run Mobil 1, 15-50 in the summer, 10-40 in the winter. Except that now I go to school where it's REALLY cold, I run 10-30 in the winter. But anywhere it...

Won't fit without an adapter. Just put it on the stock manifold. The Offenhauser Dual-Port is for a square bore Carter AFB or Edelbrock Performer series carb. 500CFM is a bit large but can be tuned down. Oh, the manifold's 4 barrel, btw. Dual plane design, with seperate runners for the...

I would say that you should just 'wheel what you've got for now. A 4 speed tranny would be a better upgrade for drivability's sake. Once you start encountering times when you need the lockers, get them.

What are they rubbing on? I've got 3.75 right now, with quarter inch spacers up front...They're perfect for my stock sized winter tires, but 33x12.5's rub like mad, front and rear. And if not for those spacers, they'd be grinding down the brake calipers up front...

If you're getting another set of tires, I'm assuming you're getting another set of rims...In which case, just throw one set in the garage, and when you go 'wheeling, spend 20 minutes and just swap tires...

Why leave your hubs locked for so long? I've got a '40, and with a lockrite in the rear, I NEVER have to use 4wd on-road. I'm up in fairbanks, but from Eagle River... I know a lot of people do that, but there's no real point. With a locker, you have all the traction you need. Just run the Longs...

Are those stock height springs, or lift?

Could you get some more pics of what you did in the rear? I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Did the 60 springs give you any lift? Were they stock height, or lift springs? Did you have to use the spring hangers off a '60?

Well, I just dropped my suspension down an inch (stupid extended shackles), and now I'm getting tire to fender contact...What timing to post up Roger's body lift link! I think I'm going to go with that. Besides, makes clearance for dual cases later :D

The stock heater is nowhere near large enough when it's below zero outside, sorry. No matter how sealed the cab is. When it did work (and I've rebuilt it...I'd be on my second rebuild, and parts are starting to snap off mine), I could cruise around in sandals...but full winter gear otherwise...

Where in Alaska? Fairbanks checking in here. My heater doesn't work, either. By next fall, I WILL have a vintage air air conditioning setup, along with one of the heep aftermarket heaters in the rear.

I'm a college student. You'd be surprised how long I could hold my breath if it means I don't spend money :D

Does anyone know if you can mate a Toybox up to the back of an H55F? That would be a sweet setup...Would have to move the rear axle back quite a bit, but it would definately be great for a daily driver. Edit: Also, with an H42...How much of a body lift is recommended, again? I seem to recall...
