You can do anything. I know a guy that put a 454 in a Corvair. The question is, how much work are you willing to put into it?

At this point, I'm...

Well, I've managed to get everything straightened out. The moral of this story is "Don't let your carburetor unused for two years and expect it to work the same as when you took it off."

Square bore on an EDL 2101

Any problems putting a square bore carb (in this case a Holley 670) on an Edelbrock Performer #2101 intake? It's got the bolt holes, I'm just wondering if the gasket would seal up ok.
