Recommend a Carb for a 499 Stroker Motor - 05/17/15 01:17 AM
I may be looking for a new 4bbl (square bore) carb for my 499 stoker. This is a street car so I am looking for a unit with an electric choke. I could go mechanical or vacuum for the secondaries but prefer the vacuum ones myself. I'm thinking something in the 800-870 cfm range...
Motor is a 10.4:1 499 stroker, 2400 stall 727 auto, mild-ish cam, 3.55 sure-grip
I want a Holley derived carburetor as I don't want to deal with the duel fuel inlet fittings not working and having to redo all my linkages and lines.
Here is what I have on there now. I was never super impressed with this particular carburetor:
Current Carburetor
I was looking at this one:
One Idea
Are these street avengers any good? Should I consider any other lines/brands like Demon or the Summit knock-offs?
What about this one?
I don't mind spending a little extra for a good carb but I am not looking to sacrifice choke and drivability on some racing carb.
