Quadrajet jet size for a 350 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i have a 800 cfm Q-jet off of a 78 burb 454 that im rebuilding to put on my goodwreanch 350 (260) horse and i broke the jets while i was trying to remove them, they probably would have been to rich for the 350 anyway, my question is what size jets and primary metering rods should i get for this 350 (only performance mod is edelbrock performer 2101 intake) also do ya'll think the secondary metering rods from that 454 will be to much

I'd use whatever came with the carb, at least for a starting point. Jet size on a given carb doesn't automatically need to be smaller for a smaller engine. And sometimes it may actually be bigger. For example a hot street 350 may require a larger jet size than a mild 454 using the same carb.

Just thought of this: Get in touch with http://www.cliffshighperformance.com/to see what they recommend.
