Hi guys:

I have a question. I am building a 283 for my '55 2-door wagon. I will be running an edelbrock 2-four intake. My question is to break in. I don't want to fiddle with setting up the carbs when I initially fire the motor and run it to break in. Can I close off one of the carb openings with a steel plate and break the motor in off of just one carb? Then once broken in, set up the dual quad intake?

The alternative is to fire it up with a single 4 intake, break it in and then switch intakes on the car. Thats a bit of a nuisance. Try-Five friend says close off the openings and use 2 four manifold, Machine Shop says switch intakes.

Thoughts guys?

thanks!
