Twin H on 50 262 motor

    Question??? Can you put a Hornet Twin H set up on a 50 Super 6 262 ci or should I go to a Twin H from a later 262? With the long wheel base you have room for the Hornet linkage. What do you think???

    FYI

    The intake will fit the motor fine, however Hornet's have slightly larger carbs than 262 Twin H intakes. Some people over the yrs probably interchanged the Twin H's without ever realizing the difference.

    Thanks, I bet you are right,I knew the base of the carbs. are bigger than the 262 on the 308. I guess the differance in block wideth might make some differance.The linkage on the short wheel base is different and hard to come by. I have the linkage off of the 308. Thanks again and have a Merry Cristmas.

    I have seen the 308 set-up on many 262's. It really seems to make them run Ok too. If you look,the 307093 Part# will be on a 308 twin-H manifold as well as the 262 manifold. The manifolds, as far as I can tell, are identical, except the throat size of the carb base.
