I have two Edelbrock 4 barrels. bought them in a box of misc parts from a guy. he said both are for a 304. Claimed one had been rebuilt. The other is un assembled but has a rebuild kit. I'm trying to identify them
kit has 50-728-2 on the instruction sheet. all gaskets and pieces still sealed in the original plastic pouches. all unopened. seems complete. Just not sure how to ID them

If they are Edelbrock's the part number should be here:
If they are Carter AFB's then the number will be on the other side: That kit number cross references to Edelbrock and Carter AFB 9000 series as far as I can tell.

Hope everyone had a good 4th.
I'm going to try to talk to a shop today. (it's so hot it's a struggle to go out) And I'm only 10 points away from being able to post a picture.

I've decided on a shop to rebuild my engine. (looked inside one of the cylinders with a scope and saw ugliness looking back at me)
Hopefully I'll have it in the shop by the end of the month. the 4 barrel route is sounding like a good way to go. I just need to do more research on what I have vs what's compatible. I disconnected the exhaust from the manifolds the other day. Of course, one of them hit me on the head. (good thing I don't use it much). |

Now your talking a different story. The cost to rebuild a 304 is the same as a 360. You may find a 360 that does not need the rebuild cheaper as in many places they are more plentiful. Likely with the 4 barrel already installed.
A crate 304 is the same price as a crate 360 and most of your 304 external pieces, brackets, water pump, steering pump ... are the same. PO is to do some internet comparison shopping before committing to rebuild the 304 since you were looking for more HP in the first place. |

Always keep the damper and flywheel with the engine to maintain proper balance.
