David,
I'm not sure which Holly 2bl your referring to, but the Holly progressive
2bl found on Pintos and Vegas is very similar to the Weber 32/36 DGV. It is
after all made by Weber to their specs. All these are donwdraft types with
the main difference is in the fuel inlet and throttle shaft area. These can
certianly be "modified" (jet's etc.) to work with almost any after market
manifold designed for the Weber DGV carb. Other than that I know of no
others, not that it couldn't be done I just haven't heard of any -

Nothing, in my experience is a direct bolt on conversion, The carbs may
bolt to the manifold but the throttle linkage, fuel inlet, and jetting will
most certianly need to be modifed/changed to suit you application -
