Best place for a 390 holley?

[HEI451]

There are two different aftermarket 390's, one for 4 and 6 cylinder engines, the other for V8. Make sure you get the right one.

I usllay use a 600 for ain inline 6, not the 390's. They also make a small spread bore cfm carb that is a replacement for a Q-Jet, 450 cfm, great carb for an inlne engine.

Thanks yeah I was wondering about that I noticed on ebay there was a lot of 390 holleys that had circle track and nascar in there descriptions asking a lot of money so those must be for the 8s. So you don't think 600 cfm is too much for the little 230ci the only reason I asked about a 390 is that's what the po had in it and said it ran great. Thanks for the tip! I would have hate to find that out after pushing the buy now button.

It seems like those Holley 8007, 390 cfm carbs bring top dollar even in a needing rebuilt condition. I have come to the conclusion, the used ones just aren't worth the money they bring, and a guy is better off trying to find the best buy on a new one. By the time you pay $200-250.00 for a builder, buy the kit, and then spend your time rebuilding it, you're into it almost as much as a new one. I recently bought a factory refurbished one directly from Holley, on ebay for $287.00 plus shipping. IIRC shipping was about $27-28.00.They have one on there now for $299.00 plus shipping.
