Hey all you big block guys does a 402 have the spacer between the housing and the top of the carb? Any pictures of an original setup out there?

Here is a shot of my spacer hooked up the valve cover. The air cleaner looks like all the rest of the V8s. I just don't have a picture of it right now. This is a 1972 402 in a C10.

Thanks, looks like the spacer is taller than on a 350!

Skip Greaney · 02-02-2007, 12:32 AM

Does anyone know if the small and big block spacers are the same height? I assume the air cleaners are the same for either engine.

All of the big block spacers that I have seen are actually shorter than the small block versions.

I don't remember what the spacer was(short or tall) on the 402 in my 72' Burb but I know for certain that it's all original... Here's a shot of the aircleaner anyway. I remember the 454 that was in my 76' had a SHORT spacer on it. As far as the correct spacer for the 68-72, I can take a pic of it sometime this weekend if nobody else beats me to it...

Oh, BTW, Yes, that 402 does run! Truck sat for 12+ years before I found it. Body is trashed but a ton of good parts left on it...

Bagged
I've gotta ask , are you parting out the Burb ? I could use a bb power steering pump .

I have found quite a few air cleaners and spacers in a days worth of looking, the heat pipe and "stove" on the manifold is a bit more challenging, but I think I might be close!

Skip Greaney · 02-02-2007, 09:48 PM

By the Way 409...Smartass!!! (LOL) Nice hog block though...clean

Texasdeere · 02-03-2007, 07:49 PM

409,

Is that a "performer" or "performer rpm" intake on your BB?

Thanks

It's a Performer . It's getting replaced shortly , along with a bunch of other parts , as soon as or if it ever warms up , lol.
