Donor vehicles for a 4barrel intake to fit dauntless

What cars can I pull a 4 barrel intake and carb off of to fit my 225.

 

None, All 4 barrel manifolds for the 225 Odd fires were aftermarket from places like Edlebrock, Offy, Weiand, Holly and or used from................Ebay.

 

Ok , thought some of the Gm 4 doors with the 231 might fit.

 

Buick Regal with 252 (4.1L) V-6. You will need to use the Fel-Pro fiber intake conversion gaskets. These used a smaller Quadra-Jet 4 barrel. Most likely much easier to go with the Offy, Edelbrock, etc mentioned. Will open up carburetor and fuel injection options as well.

All of the Buick intakes from the 4.1s will fit on a 225 with the right mix of gaskets. These motors were put into many GM cars. You just have to look for them. The last one I bought at pull-a-part was $18, so can be a cheap option. Still best to look for one of the aftermarket brands as they have better carb fitment with most having both carb patterns. On a side note, many aftermarket intakes that have a slotted mounting hole on the passenger side of the intake will not cover the egr port on a 231.

 

you wont need a special gasket set if you have epoxy skillzz... you can fill in the intake runners on any of the 4bbl's to fit the small port head, then go back with a dremmel or somethin and gasket port the intake to match the smaller head, or switch to an even fire, tall port head and gain gobs of power (cant tell the difference from looking at them from the outside).
with the intake fill procedure, you can perfectly match the intake runner so you loose no power from gasket mismatch tho (since you are cutting to the gasket itself), if you want to stay with the stock runners for the low end torque. i think it was TA performance i spoke with that said they put the tall port heads on older odd fire engines and they work great.
i just saw a 4.1 intake on ebay, but the dewd wanted $75 (he was smoking crack). i bought one for $10 in 05 so just watch ebay, get some epoxy and make it pretty... =)
if yer wondering how to fill it in, you can put tape across the top 1/2 of each runner and lay it on its back. then fill in all ports exposed back a couple inches. then rotate until all 6 have expoxy to match the gasket pattern (mostly on the top where they cut 1/2" out to give it more flow). dont worry if it isnt pretty, because the grinding comes next. if you mess up, you can always grind the epoxy back out and do it again.. =)
the gaskets would be easier, but the grinding would be more fun. =)

 

Depending on how much you want to spend you can put the Offenhauser 4bbl intake http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ofy-6035dp/overview/ Which I got mine off ebay for a better price but it worked for mine and I really like it and then I put a Holley 390 on it http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hly-0-8007

 

I bought the Offy and the Holley 390 too, they are great!
