carb suggestions for a 350

[r.booser]

Buying a new carb for my stock 350. Looking for suggestions, pros an cons and any other advise you guys have. From what I know motor is stock besides intake. Going in my c20

I'd go with a Edelbrock 650 w/ electric choke.

BUILT NOT BOUGHT

Stay away from edie's........ For Gas milage, run a Q-jet, BEST CARB DESIGN EVER. If for sheer power, go with Holley 650 Vac Secondaries.

 

[78bigblock]

They are easy to work on and to find.

 

[Driver4r]

They are scrap weight and pains in the ass.
They are easy to find cause noone wants them.

Everyone i know hates them, now they all run Holleys.

The only thing edlebrock makes thats good is Heads,Intakes,And valve covers/air cleaners(not the triangle foam ones)

Good Ole Holley Vs. Eddie

If you are wanting to buy a new one.... Get aQuadrajet.... Badass carb for a daily truck.

 

[r.booser]

Everyone I have talked to hate quadrajet and it is about 50/50 with edelbrock and holley.

I've had 3 Edelbrocks and hated every one of them. They're easy enough to mess with and get a truck to run, but they're almost impossible to tune correctly.

For a daily driver, I would go with a quadrajet if you can find a good one. The only reason they have a bad rap is because they're all 30+ years old and people don't rebuild them correctly.

Otherwise, get a Holley or maybe Summit Racings carb. That's what I'm going to order soon.

I will be buying this soon.... triple venturi, goggle valve, butterfly flaps, 200/700r4 geometry built in, looks badass. A friend put this on his monte carlo and it was amazing how much better it runs and better MPG & HP.

if I went with Holley would I have to buy an adaptor plate since I have a Edelbrock intake?

 

[Driver4r]

If you want all go and no stop, get a predetor. Its either fully open, or closed, theres no middle .

And yea, q-jets are the best carb when you know how to work on them,..

if I went with Holley would I have to buy an adaptor plate since I have a Edelbrock intake?

Nope. Edelbrock and Holley use the same "square bore" flange.

 

[Boone83K10]

no, if the intake is square bore then you need a square bore carb. If the intake is a spread bore then you need a spread bore carb.

I run edelbrocks all the time, never any problems, simple and cheap to rebuild anyone can do it. I'd say why not go with a 500 cfm edelbrock or just 600? I see no need in going bigger, we run a 600 with man. choke on a mild cam 2.02 head 350 on the street just daily driver.
