 That sounds like one that will work. Post the specs of the cam, tranny, etc. as well.

Excellent carb, nearly identical to the one I use on my own 455 engine.  It will need some help in a few areas, but nothing better out there for what you are doing.  Contact the shop when you are ready to set it up, we have everything you need to set it up exactly for what you are doing.....Cliff
