As Mrs. Edmonds said, they are quite rare. Mitch, your best bet is a wanted ad. A fabricated one could work, but it would be a lot to ask for. As for aftermarket, there are none that I'm aware of. Good luck and I hope you find a good one for cheap.

If I can find one in Australia then you shouldn't have a problem. PS Thanks Jeff!

There is potential for a small profit to be made making adapter plates
to use later Gen3 aluminum manifilds on Gen 1 motors.

Thanks for the responses guys!
I think I'm going to try and piece together everything needed to run a 4BBL for next season, right now I want to get the 2BBL rebuilt and running, worst come to worst I should be able to sell that for more than the $90 I'll have into it. What is the largest flowing carb I should look into for the stock fuel pump? I see anything from 650-800, but I feel like anything over 700-750 might be choking out that pump a bit.

A carburetor's CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating has nothing to do with a fuel pump's GPH (gallons per hour) rating. The two ratings are "apples & oranges". I believe it's been mentioned several times on this forum that with a Gen I 327cid a carb with a rating of 600cfm is way more than it needs.

Okay, that's definitely good to know then! Thanks! Any input into what was the original 4 BBL carbs offered on these cars? Or were there many available?

Original 4-barrels [except 1957] on the Gen I V8's were Holley ['57 used the Carter WCFB, which was in many ways light-years behind the Carter AFB that followed]. Most were around 450-465 CFM.
These Holley carbs come up quite often these days on eBay.

Best use for a WCFB is to encase it in Acrylic and put on a coffee table.
Anyone in NH that has a 327 to part with I am interested. I don't care if it has a hole in the block. I am looking for a motor with reasonably good heads to reverse engineer the intake flanges and dummy up adapters to a late Gen 3 intake.
