[19mustang65]

i called a few places(jegs, summit, Demon, and more) yesterday to get opinions on carbs for my car. i didnt get very far...they seemed to only car about either making money or getting the call over with....

Im looking for a carb for my 289, 30 over, cam at .050 = intake 204, exhaust 214; 112 lop; valve lift intake 448 and exhaust is 472. c4 tranny, i will be using a performer rpm manifold. i need a carb that will be user friendly but nto to the point where i will give up alot of power for it. my car is a daily driver but im 21 years old so im in her alot. i need any and all suggestions.

i have a new edelbrock 600cfm that i could use so i wouldnt spend any money or i could spend money and get something better? thanks

Use what you have.

That carb you have is perfect for the application.

The first part of this quote says go with an Edelbrock carb.
The second part of the quote SRCREAMS use the Edlebrock.
I just took an Edelbrock 600 off of my 13 second coupe for a Demon. The Eddy never gave me one ounce of problems and will "stay in tune" easily. I think it's a great carb. I say use it and spend money elswhere.

I'd use the Edelbrock carb in your situation.

IMO Demon>Holley>Edelbrock but for your application the Edelbrock should be just fine and they make excellent daily drivers carbs...stick with it

 

[bnickel]

for a DD definitely go with the e'brock, it is an excellent street carb, the only reason i went with a demon on my last build is beacause the car will no longer have to endure the rigors of daily use.

C Harris put just right. Why spend the money for a demon when the Edle will suit you just fine. I had a similar setup as yours on my 302, same profile cam, with a 600 cfm carb. 'Cept mine was a Holley. Trust me 600 cfm is enough no matter what brand.

well i guess i got my answer...thanks guys... now since i dont have any manuals on this carb anymore...anybody know wher ei can get one or anybody have one?

Edelbrock provides an excellent manual with their carbs, I am told. I would contact them directly for a replacement. An aftermarket book is in the works, but is still at least a year away.
