Default suggestions on a carb??

so anyway im working on putting in a new motor into my 79 camaro. the motor i bought isnew remanufactured 350 bored .060 over, blue racer RV cam, bigger exhaust valves, exhaust ports ported, flat top pistons and 4 bolt mains. the torque on this motor is from idle to 3,800 rpm.do you think a 650 doubble pumper would work?? and what would be a good mechanical fuel pump to match up with the carb?oh yea and i have a performer intake and headers. thanks

i say dont go with holly they are hard to tune and need tuning alot if its not going to be a all out race car i would say go with a edelbrock carb either a 650cfm or a 750cfm.not sure on what fuel pump.but i'm sure these other guys will chime in.

I would say to look at the Proform carb http://www.jegs.com/i/Proform/778/67207/10002/-1/764248|10271
or a Quickfuel http://www.jegs.com/i/Quick+Fuel/793/SS-680-VS/10002/-1/764151|10271

I would stay away from a mechanical pump, they tend to bog. If those 2 carbs are too high in price then the next best would be the holley street avenger... if money isn't an option then I would say the proform Race series http://www.jegs.com/p/Proform/753487/10002/-1/10271I just went through 3 new carbs, Edelbrock, Holley, and found that the QF/proform carbs to be the best,and well worth the extra $200

There is nothing wrong with Holley's! i have one on a chevelle and it has a 355 in it and never needs tuning. I'd say go with a Holley 800 if u are not worried about gas but a Holley 650 double pumper would work fine.

I am a huge fan of Demon Carburetors. They are complete beasts! I have not had one in a while and I don't know how it is on a 350 witch is what I am guessing you have. They make it really essay to chose the kind of carb for you cam and what you plan on achieving.
