Hi. Just curious if the stock 2V manifold would accept the Autolite 4V carb? If it does, is the switch worth the effort in terms of a gain? I'm still learning about the ol' '65...Thanks

I've seen adapter plates that allow this to be done. Most people will tell you to just get a 4V manifold for it though. Sweet looking car by the way.

The 2bbl intake will not accept a 4 bbl carb. There may be adapter plates available, but I can't imagine that kind of swap would be worth your while.
I don't think you will notice any performance gain if you switch your C-code ( 2 bbl ) intake / carb for a 4 bbl intake and carb. The only thing you'll notice will be a decrease in your gas mileage with the swap. Factory C-code cars were rated at 200 hp and A-codes were rated at 225 hp...not much of a difference.
Your car seems so nice and clean - and stock - so I would recommend keeping it that way, especially if it is an original C-code car. Now, if it is a factory A-code ( 4 bbl ) car, then I would definitely locate a correct factory 4-bbl intake and carb, but otherwise, stock is the way to go.

While I understand (and agree to a point) in what Ron is saying in keeping it stock.....the nice thing about bolt on parts like 4bbl intakes is the stocker can always be put back on at a later time if you wanted to change it back to stock.
Summit carries adapter plates to put a 4bbl carb on a 2bbl intake....however if performance is what you're after, put a 4bbl intake on it.
I would also expect the 4bbl to get slighter better (or the same) fuel mileage as the 2bbl...
