    Hello , I have a 1968 Skylark with a 350 ci (ST300) 2bbl in my car and I'd like to gather information about converting it to 4bbl

    I'm looking for an iron original setup.

    Here are my questions :

    - Except a 4bbl intake and a 4bbl carburator what else could i need to achieve my conversion ?

    - Is any 350 engine years of intake would fit on my 68 engine ?

    - what carbs originally goes there (rochester) ? Or is this any better ?

    - What about the air cleaner ?

    If you have any pictures that would help I will apreciate it

    Thank you

    you need an air filter housing for a 4 barrel (bigger opening for the carb)
    carb linkage is also different
    same goes for the metal fuel line going to the carb
    throttle cable
    go for a rochester quadrajet, buick also used those for their engines

    go to google and type:

    alec296 i need another buick

    I would suggest stock Quadrajet. Correct one for the Buick 350. Stock intake is fine. You will need to modify fuel line or get a reproduction. You may need a 4 barrel accelerator cable. Get a Quadrajet Power or Everyday Performance rebuild if you find a carb that needs work. .
    You would get better performance with a 350 transmission swap. It’s a direct fit except for getting the downshift cable to mate to the accelerator pedal. But should not be too difficult.
