Yea last 283 I ran was in a 65 chevelle. When the floor fell out I put it in my 68 El Camino. And that been some time ago. I have had 4 of them. I used to call them motorcycle engines. Set of camel hump heads and a big cam they would rev to 9 grand. Enough of the old days of my youth.

Here is a page from summit that list many spacers for 2 BBL's. I remember factory 283 2 BBL carbs were a different critter but maybe one of them can be rigged to work for you.

Default Carb insulating gasket

I have a summit catalog and will look to see if they have one. 9 grand, phew, be the first car in history to blow its own doors off.
Thanks again.
