I'm looking for recommendations for an aftermarket carb for 69 Z28. Engine is DZ302. Specifically, I want 600 cfm that'll will align with fuel lines, linkage, breather, etc. I prefer a holley but would consider other. I've read holley 80145 will do the trick but unfortunately it's out of production. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

 

Talk to Holley

 

Here's an original OEM restored but sit down before you look at the price.

Oh and why a 600? They came with a 780.

 

More interested in "user" opinion. Thanks

 

Yeah, I know. That's one of the main reasons for pursuing aftermarket.

 

Benefits of 780 are at higher rpms where I'll never take the restoration. If I could find a reasonably priced original carb, I'd convert to 600 but "reasonable" does not appear available. I'll keep looking but if an aftermarket that'll meet "form, fit, and function (at 600 cfm)"exists, that'll be my target. Thanks

 

Well if you are wanting "aftermarket" 600 CFM, check out Edelbrock 1406. I believe the bolt pattern is the same but IDK if there is something unique to the 302 intake

FWIW I have used the 1406 on my 327 and Ford 302. No problems. The Edelbrocks are similar to Carter AFB design

If its all about "original" than that exploding wallet Holly on fleebay
