That definitely falls into the "it depends" catagory.......for a few different reasons.
It depends........ On the current condition of the carb
It depends......... On how much $$$ you're willing to spend on it
It depends........ On the combination you want to put it on
It depends......... On what the intended usage is
If the carb is in generally good condition and will be used on a race car application making less than about 700-750hp....... It's probably cost effective to reuse it.

Like Fast says, I've seen some real nice older carbs and I've seen some stuff that looks like it was yanked out of the sea. Older Hollet bowls don't flow as well as the newer QF stuff. Metering block technology is certainly different. Mods to the main housing might be required. Newer style external linkage is definitely a plus. So yeah, it all depends. How fast do you want to go?

I ran 8.60 for years with one and I think it’s still downstairs on a shelf. I am a top bulb delay box racer so my tuning window is pretty simple compared to a bottom bulber or a street car.

I bought both of 1050's used, rebuilt them and they work great on my Indy tunnel Ram. Got all of the air bleeds and jetting adjusted and tuned on dyno. A/f ratios are good at idle, cruise and wot. Runs great on the street, revs like a small block. Runs like it is efi.

8.40’s@160 mph felt better but that was with a different combo and a new style 3 circuit carb. I have one for my 572 being built at APD right now (1250). I had my Indy Tunnelram for sale and ended up doing some horse trading with the owner there.

Kinda keeping my eye open for a tunnel ram - but not at your level- grin.
Next engine build will be max wedge ports and that opens some other possibilities . Fwiw- I am having fun already !
Just out of curiosity - what does your duster weigh? My black Duster weights 2860 with me in it last year. Slightly more now because the driver did a lot of eating and azz sitting over the Winter. I have no idea of how much my heads up Duster is going to weight because it was a small block before and now it will be a big block.

Said it before and I'll say it again, your cars are some of the most impressive I've seen ESPECIALLY because you do most of everything yourself and like myself, aren't rich so you work/spend wisely............

Wow thanks Thumper. It means a lot hearing that from you. I love following your carb builds on Facebook

The non-HP 8896 should have bar boosters in it, not annulars unless it's been modified. The annulars are worth doing, I've had one car gain a tenth in the 1/8 on a 2 circuit 8082 with a booster change and minor recalibration. The only downside on the older carbs is having to thread the air bleed passages for removable bleeds and if switching to an annular booster having to machine the newer banjos to fit the old bodies. Otherwise they do work well.
