"Bread Box" version?

I learned this term from my own TR request thread:

I'm looking for a vintage TR1 or a TR2.

Marlin, Those bread box TR1's were absolutely horrendous on the street and it takes someone with experience to set one up right and even then it won't run as good as a TR with a smaller plenum. Even Edelbrock pitched it after one year of production and went to the TR-2X and discontinued the TR1. It was a poor design to begin with.

A friend of mine put one on his 70's style street rod he was building and it washed down his cylinder walls after a summer of driving and he and his friend who set it up have been setting up these systems since the mid 70's. He wanted a challenge..and it beat him.

I would suggest the Edelbrock TR-2X, or better yet the Weiand or an Offenhauser-both have a smaller plenum than the TR-2X and are very early 1970's correct. Offenhauser had a very good reputation for nice running street TR's back in the 70's because they had the best plenum shape.

Here is the engine in my 289 Mustang- Offenhauser with 2 Holley 390's-the pre emission carbs w/o all the smog junk on them.Disregard the date on the photo-it was not set the day I photographed it.

Your engine looks great.
Does anyone know the time frame on the two pictured?

Don't worry about Stunkards picture of the Camaro. He won't mind.

Thanks. The 4150 TR in the top picture is on Ebay right now. I like the way it looks but I will stick with my Edelbrock.

What would have been typical mid to late 70's?
