What are the best intake and carb set up
I have an '81 that i took the 350 and made a 383 stroker, it has 16cc inverted pistons, and a cam Dur. of 212 and a lift of 440. But i seem to find a intake and carb set that will work with this set up. Right now I have a 600cfm Holley

You'll get a lot of different opinions on this and there's a wide variety of different set ups that would work well.
What is your plan for the car? just a nice daily driver? driver with some drag strip or street race action? Looking for best performance or best gas mileage? I'm a bit of a lead foot and always liked the even bore Holley 750 double pumpers and a single plane intake but a good street compromise on the car is a spread bore double pumper like the 650 and a spredbore dual plane intake. If you are just looking for a nice daily driver with decent performance the Edlebrock performer intake and carb set up runs good or just use the Performer spreadbore intake and a GM Quadrajet. |
This is just my opinion
If you want mosty race (high RPMs) and don't care much about streetability then i would look at a Victor Jr with a Demon carb 800 CFM min. If you want to hit a lot of cruises I would go with RPM Air-gap with a Holly Avenger 780 (or around there CFM). Course a well tuned custom fuel injection system can give you best of both worlds assuming the motor is not too radical. |
I'm mostly using the car to cruise around town and if some punk kid in his daddy's thinks he can take me, I want to be able to show him that it's no joke. So does that help some what with what kind of carb I should run.

Well then, you can probably guess what I'm thinking!
How much hood clearance do you have? Or, do you own a sawzall?? ;) |
I have a stock hood at the monent but I'm not sure if I want to put a 4" crawl inducting hood on it or not, and I really don't want to be cutting up a great looking hood that has been on the car since it came off the factor line.
