Is a Carter 600 enough for a 455?

[Tlynde]

I know a guy that ran a edelbrock 600 performer on his 460 ferd one ton, and it ran like a champ. It ate gas like a mother but it ran great.

I say put it on and if it feels like it's doggin out on ya go bigger.

If it does then you haven't bought a carb you don't need.

krue has told you the most practical solution here! Even a 500 two barrel will run ho-hum OK. It's all in how you wish to use the truck and how much power
you wish to unleash. Myself, I would like to be able to surprise the little v-8 Stangs at the traffic lights!

I would call Holley and Edelbrock in order to get a ballpark idea of what to use. They make em and should know how to use them. I do agree with Ogier on the 600cfm Universal. I have a manual choke and was told to get a different carb. This one was free and new in the box and ran like he!!. Too bad i wrecked that car. I am putting it on my mild 350 when it is done.
