The simpliest & cheapest is a pare of 600 1850 holleys, i'm sure the 600 eddys would work fine also, i've only ran the 600 vs. holleys with a D shaped weiand street ram with great success on 2 seperate BBs.
That will run out of steam about middle of second gear with his set-up.....I believe in carbing it right if your going to do it, why waste the money otherwise.
Call quick fuel as I mentioned above and talk it over with them. I have one of those on my 360, and it is awesome. I was going to do a pair of them o my TR, but figured the EFI would work just as good or better.
A pair of these on a tunnel ram is just awesome, I guess most people don't even know what annular boosters are for or why you would use them in this application.

I know from 1st. hand this combo works, to say it'll run out of steam is a myth, but if you want to drop down a grand for the fancy stuff, thats cool too, all i was out was 275.00 total, I never said running larger carbs wouldn't work better, so its not fare to say running 600 1850s will run out of steam, because it won't, tell that to the guy who owns my old duster, he's a member here

2 660's will be more then enough. Great tunnel ram carbs. No need for fancy aftermarket holley carbs when you can get the real thing. I hear more complaints about the aftermarket holleys like Damon, Barry Grant ect ect. Buy real holleys and drive it like you stole it.
I never said to buy a demon pos....But hey, what do I know? I just some dumb guy that didn't want to use 30+ year old crap on one of my engines anyways. I was told a 750dp was to way too much for a 360, so I put an 800dp on it, and man does it run. I didn't want to be happy with it, I wanted it to be fast. Been around cars a while now, and i'm pretty sure there have been a few improvements in the past decade or so, but hey, to each there own. Runs ok is ok, for most....

Don't get in a huffy because others give there input, thats why this is a board & he is looking for ideas, you make it sound like your idea is the "only" way to go, well its not, i personally defended myself when you targeted my responce, which ever way he chooses "he chooses", that simple, most of us don't have big $$$$$ to throw around, so calm down

The 1850 carbs are almost impossible to tune unless you're willing to spend a bunch of time with drills and epoxy.
Andy, not to start a debate, but i've used 1850s on 2 of my builds, both being -2 & -3s, one being my old Duster with the 451, & the other on a basically mild low comp. 440 in my D-100, on both accations it wasn't hard dialing in those carbs, once they were tinkered a bit all was spot on & never gave me any fits, even on the street, The duster still has this set-up after 5yrs. & the other owner loves them, & he's has never had to tweek them any more, not saying the eddys won't work good also, i'm sure they will.

That's whats funny about your response, and your opinion. Those are not very good carbs for that combo. Most of us that replied, HAVE, tried more than one combination on a tunnel ram. Call a custom carb shop, and do it right, and do it once. Get the right carbs already set up on a dyno and calibrated to your fuel flow needs.
The newer carbs will also have a lot more range of adjustments with replaceable air bleeds and boosters which can be tailored to your specific application. My personal preference is to get annular carbs anytime they are available for my applications. They are phenominally responsive, and help with milder combinations.
Frustration in the set-up and tuning of those is not worth it. Tunnel ram carbs take a lot of time to sort out, and if you pick the wrong carbs to start with, lots of time followed by frustration. Box stock carbs rarely work on Mopars. The only one I have ever liked out of the box that was right on for a mopar is the 8896 Holley dominator on a mild race prepped 440 or 451 with around a 590 cam.
