a 650 is 2 small in my opinion. That 351w is now running Big Block cubes and needs to be fed accordingly. You will need atleasty a 750 to get that.

Assuming a 6500 rpm shift point and 100% VE, you would need an 800 cfm carb for your 427. If you reve higher or have more than 100% VE, youll need bigger. Your 650 will carry you 427 to about 5000 rpm.
