Hey guys, me and my dad are getting to the point of getting a carb for our engine. He wants to stay single barrel, but my opinion is to go two barrel. It's the same price as the one he wants and will actually be able to put out the CFM our engine needs.
My dad wants a Holley 1904 carb (the universal one that used to be sold by CI)
While i'm saying something like a Holley two barrel from a Mustang. My buddy has one from his Mustang V8 because he's upgrading to a 4 barrel. He would want to sell the whole package with his 2 barrel 302 intake, I haven't gotten a price out of him yet, but i'm feeling it'll be around 150-200 range. Or I could buy a new 350cfm carb from Summit.
The mods that our engine has is big log head (milled it to a bit above the original CR on the 200), .60 washers under our valve springs, dual headers, HEI, and head studs if that matters.
Here's my calculations for what our engine needs for CFM:
200/2x6000/1728=347.2222....
Volumetric efficiency
70%-243.05cfm
80%-277cfm
90%-312cfm
What are your thoughts/opinions. Any other good carb choices? I wish I could get my hands on a tripower setup. :roll:
