Re: carb

I don't think you'd want that on a street engine since the choke horn is missing (on purpose). I believe this is designed to be used in a dual carb setup like a tunnel ram, and the other carb would have the choke assembly.

To work in a single 4 barrel application the choke area should look more like this:

Re: carb

You absolutely do not want that carb. It's not a 500 cfm....it's a 450 cfm list 9776. It's a tunnel ram only carb and is calibrated to be ran in pairs. It's a mechanical secondary with no rear accel pump. It would be a nightmare on any motor being ran by itself.

Re: carb

Also... if you got a double pumper on the current engine set up you're probably way over carbed. Especially if it's a stock or stockish "V8". Not many street engines need a DP.

Re: carb

A different carb. Holley 1850 or an Edelbrock 1405 or 1406. Both are 600cfm's.
