69 stingray, yes I used the 063 oval port heads (had to). You have a PM. Cliff, 10.89 is very good in FAST for that car. Do you do anything to the race Q jets to increase bowl capacity (like use some of the adjacent cavities for fuel storage)? Any tricks other than what's in your book?

69 stingray:
very impressive cliff! thanks for the pm von  :) i'll keep you posted on my project...

Cliff Ruggles:
Complete waste of time/funds to increase bowl capacity.  Set the carb and fuel system up so it stays full on hard runs instead.....Cliff

well i got a quadrajet for my 427 ci 390hp automatic, my car was built around mid to late september of 1969, so some 69 corvette's had parts for the 1970 model as well. this is the carb. i bought.... ( This is a rare 1970 Chevrolet big block quadrajet carb number 7040200 EE dated 2039...roughly its about July 22nd of 1969 for 1970 production...the number on the carb shows 40200 EE 2039...omitting the "70" prefix which is sometimes how they numbered them..really nice carb..came off a running engine but I would give it a simple rebuild to freshen it up )...... is it a carter? and what's a fair price for this carb? thanks for any help.... i also have been getting parts to build a L-88 clone engine for F.A.S.T. i found some 074 aluminum heads which need work, a real deal #3955205 holley 850cfm double pumper carb, new aluminum water pump # 3975928, and a new reproduction intake #3933198, new chrome valve covers/oil cap/breather hose, and a older used corvette distributor which will be upgraded. i can use a dart block as long as it's Not a tall deck. what do you think about a big bore short stroke engine? maybe a 477 ci?

69 stingray:
i also called your shop and put my name on the waiting list  ;D
