I can‘t decide on what carburetor size or brand to buy. I have read a lot but did not get a satisfying answer.
Heres my car:
1968 Coronet
383 stroked to 489
Sidewinder ported aluminum heads 310cfm intake, 1.5 aluminum rockers, 10.4:1 CR
Performer RPM intake
MSD pro billet distributor, MSD 6AL
1-7/8" headers
2.5" exhaust
electric fuel pump
Hughes hydraulic flat tappet cam ([email protected]" 242/246 LSA110°)
Dana 60 3.54 gears Suregrip
15" wheels
727 trans with shift kit, deep oil pan
torque converter probably 10“ Hughes 2500rpm stall
expect around 550-600hp, street car, redlight racer.
I came to 850cfm size but may want to step up a bit due to ported heads. Or is a 950 to big?
Car will be driven from spring to fall, no cold or winter use. Is a choke (electric) still a good thing to have?
Don‘t want to waste hp on a wrong carb but still try to stay in a reasonable price range of around max. 700USD or less.
Thanks!
