    Not without fabbing up an adapter.

    I know summit sells one. I bought it. I was going to put one on the mav when it had a 250. With a 250 you might have hood clearance issues

    They might have an adapter for this, but I'd be surprised myself.
    The aftermarket adapters I have seen were for a different type of 2v carb.
    That doesn't mean they don't make one though.
    I figured for sure that this particular adapter would have to be fabbed (aka home made).

    Edit:
    The adapter and carb in the link above is NOT an Autolite/Motorcraft 2v carb. These have a totally different mounting flange.

    You can get an adapter from most places. The hard part is that you have to mill the log manifold on the head to get a flat spot large enough to mount the adapter (it is a two barrel to two barrel adapter) then bore the existing hole in the manifold to accept the two barrel. I have never seen a ford 2 bbl to 1 bbl adapter that would work. It would have to be too high to clear the hood.
