Offenhauser intake manifold on the 2f engine, (7 Viewers)

And here are the photos from the engine repairer that I received two weeks ago...

I love engine porn!!

Based on the race shop that rebuilt my engine, the heads (small ports etc) on the 2F are the biggest limiting factor for power. I can’t imagine that manifold would help much as it would all get restricted in the head

Pretty much true of any head/manifold selection. The worst intake manifold outflow the better heads. The key is to keep reducing the restrictions on flow, within reason.

Can the price be right,or is it a joke ?

Scam

I bought the Man-A-Fre combo #2 back in the day, and as I recall I got from 9 to 12 mpg. I can't really tell you if there was much of a difference from stock in mpg or performance. Of course that was forty six years ago.

They aren't really speed equipment.
Speed equipment is built in a machine shop, not bought in a catalog.
These are dress up kits.
People still to this day put dress up kits on their cars. Usually they run worse afterwards, and often they won't pass a smog with the kit. In my experience as a mechanic I've never seen an instance where someone replaced a single carb with dual carbs and had it run better.
Dual carbs make the same air travel through a wider set of holes which reduces its velocity and it's ability to fill the cylinders completely at low RPM.
F engines don't run at high Rpm due to their stroke, so you need to concern yourself with low RPM power.
Low rpm power is what gets you crawled safely out of obstacles. Low RPM power is the landcruisers strength.
Let's recap:
No dress up kit in the world is going to make the F into a high rpm engine.
More carburetor decreases air velocity at low RPM.
If you're trying to 4wheel the thing, I'd hang the fancy intake on the wall, run stock.
If you just drive around town and to car shows, put the dress up kit on it and show off..

If it doesn't go fast, chrome it!!!

Agree with most of what you said except more carbs reducing velocity. Maximum cylinder fill is a given but velocity is enhanced in smaller individual venturis. Max cylinder will not using pressure enhancement i should have added.

Good that you read not to install a Weber 38/38. Not because it is a bad carb, I’ve ran them for over a decade and not once have I had a single issue. That said, the 32/36 AND 38/38 were made for engines no bigger than 2.3 liters. The accelerator pump shot is not sufficient for an engine bigger than 2.3l, and a lean sag will be experienced that can not be tuned out. This is why many claim that Webers like lots of advance, which is hog wash. The extra advance is helping a very lean air/fuel mix to better combust, that is all. Also, most end up jetting the idle circuit pig rich to compensate as well.

A 4 barrel is not too much carb for the 2F. The primary’s on a 4 barrel are smaller than a Weber 38/38 and Holley 350, and the secondaries will only open when a restriction is present. At least, if you are running vacuum secondaries. CFM calculators should be thrown out the window when sizing a carb for a straight six. The intake stroke pulses the carb, this can be seen when running multiple carbs where each throat feeds it’s own cylinder. The 2F requires 700 cc’s to be filled per intake stroke, a Chevy 350 requires 712. At any given rpm it takes the same amount of time and volume to fill the 4.2 l6 as it does the 5.7 v8. Therefore if a v8 of similar cylinder volume requires or runs best with a 600-650 cfm carb, the same can be said for the l6.

This has been shown with 650-750 cfm carbs on Ford 300s and also Chevy 292s. If using an “average” cfm calculator on a straight six, your cfm will show you need a much smaller carb and will become a restriction to the engine.

All that said, if no change is made to the cylinder head and exhaust, and the restriction occurs elsewhere, any benefit from the larger carb will be greatly reduced.

Anyway, I do believe Offy will still make the C series manifold upon demand. They are listed on Summit Racing, and have a ship date so…….

Lastly, the C series specifically states to run a 500+ cfm carb. The DP states 500cfm or less.

Great information on sizing carbs on the 2F motor. Unfortunately our Aisan 2 barrel is running 31/35, even less than the Webers.

From that, to this. Love that it’s back to stock and it runs (and smells) MUCH better

Looks good.

Hello everyone,

I have another specific question.
And my cylinder head is almost finished now.
Unfortunately, my camshaft is no longer in good condition.
I've read so much about camshafts here, but I'm still not quite sure what to do next.
Maybe I've already read way too much...
I actually intend to send my camshaft to Delta Cams in Tacoma.
What I'm not sure about, however, is which camshaft profile I should have ground.
There are two profiles: the 250° profile and the 262° profile.
Which one would you recommend based on your experience?
I definitely don't want the torque to shift too far into the upper rev range.
It's definitely not meant to be a race car, but more of a power cruiser.
I hope you can give me some good advice so I can send my camshaft on its journey to Tacoma.

It's already packed...

Thank you so much in advance and have a nice day everyone,

Jürgen

"However,I'm not so sure anymore whether that's really a good idea,because I've read a lot now and some people say that it should be really great and others write that it's better not to do it.
Now of course I'm a little unsettled."

Yes. This will be true for every question that you ask. Welcome to Mud!
