Please help me Identify the Vintage Fuel injection and carburetion systems in the pictures below.

I think the fuel injection system is a Hillborn but i have no idea about eh carbs.

Also approximately what are these worth on the market today?

Top set-up is a hilborn.

The symbol on the head looks to be the rectangle with a single center hump. That would be a 307-327 small valve head. If it has a triangle on top it would be a 283 power pack type head.

The block is pre 67 as it has the rear crankcase vent hole.



Lower set-up is a four deuce set-up.

I can't see the head markings clearly on the lower engine but it does look like it may have the small humps and accessory holes. If that's the case they would be considered decent heads for the day. They were 186's or 492's. Desirable heads (possibly the whole engine as it could be anything from a 302 to a 350/350) to collectors.

Wow I'm very impressed with you level of knowledge on this subject.

Thank you so much for the information.

Actually 492 castings were angle plug. Those are straight plugs. There was also a real nice small chamber castings with bolt holes like the engine with 4 dueces - 041 castings, basically the same as 186s. Or they could just average large chamber mid 70s stuff. The engine with fuel injection has no bolt holes in the heads. Best case scenario would be 461 or 462s. Or, they might just be small valve 283 stuff.

492's would have had the double humps and accessory holes. Which was what I was referring to the face castings. 041's would have had a small triangle not double humps. The 041's also had shallow spring pockets so it was avoided by most going with large springs. As far as the 291 461 etc double humps the real desirable sets had the X after the numbers.

I was running this type stuff in the 80's like everyone else because that's about all we had. The only aftermarket affordable alternative were sportsman II's.

Get some casting numbers off the heads and look at the lower set for screw in studs and guide plates they could be good stuff. especially for a guy restoring that year car.

We are giving away our age LOL

I did a monster port job on some 462s for my 62 Corvette back in the day. I have some pictures of them and that car around here somewhere.

EDIT:

Here is the car they were on:

Sure was. Had an old Chevy 254 @ 50 solid with a super t-10. The tough part about that car was that it had 3.55 gears with a 28+" tire. 3rd gear would go 120 MPH. LOL
