650 Holley. Vacuum secondaries for an automatic transmission, mechanical secondaries for a stick shift.

Or, one of these if you need the Ford kick down.

it depends on the cam you are going to use, not just the displacement and heads. but for a street engine i would use the edelbrock performer series carb in 600cfm.

List #80783 Holley for a vacuum sec carb. Or a 670 Street Avenger. For a mech sec. carb a 650 DP will do you.

Click to expand...

more info needed? cam, stick/auto/ rear gears, car weight, street/strip?



how can you expect a intelligent response without any useful info given?

Vacuum secondaries are the only way to go for a street engine. I personally would run a 650 or 670 depending on what brand you want to go with. Holley or Demon imo.

for the street a 650 holley or edelbrock would work great. like advised earlier, change the spring in the vacuum secondary on the holley to a lighter one since you are running a stick. a mechanical secondary 650 may give good power but has a chance of suffering fuel mileage
