226 Slant 6 - Offenhauser 5270 Intake - Looking for adapter plate

[JamieBIdaho]

I have a 65 plymouth Belvedere II with a slant 6 in it currently "breathing" with a single barrel carb. I have the offenhauser 5270 4-brl intake that originally was on the motor before I bought it. The previous owner replaced it with the single brl. It appears that the Edelbrock 1405 that I bought for it won't fit without an adapter plate on the intake. Anyone know where I can get an adapter? Is it a pretty basic part? Something I can pick up at the auto parts store, or is it something a bit more hard to come by.

I've seen new intakes that come with the adapter, but really don't want to spend another $299 to get this thing screaming.

Thanks!

are you talking about an adapter for the carb to intake like this?

or is the intake not fitting to the slant six?
