Just something I saw on ebay...
item number... 196139608066
It is a modified 4.1 intake so that a spreadbore type carburetor can be mounted, like a quadrajet 4 barrel. It will also fit the 4.9 if you use the 4.1 valve covers.
listed in the U.K.[This message has been edited by MaxCubes (edited 01-30-2024).]

Be careful. The 4.1 and 4.9 heads have differently shaped coolant passages. It can probably be made to work, but it's kind of... sketchy.

The 4.9 thermostat housing definitely won't work, and I don't see mounting provisions for the alternator.

Yes, I just realized its for a rear wheel drive Cadillac..
The thermostat would be mounted in front. The alternator and pulleys would have to be arranged differently if used on FWD or a Fiero.

I don't believe the 4.1/4.5/4.9 was ever used in a RWD configuration.

The 4.1 (HT4100) was used in a longitudinal config with a TH325, in an Eldorado. Not quite RWD but still...[This message has been edited by Raydar (edited 02-03-2024).]
