ok, good info guys. let's refocus this thread once more. say I use the stock spread bore intake I have...let's talk about carb options that will bolt onto that manifilold. the tq is out just due to the cfm being too much for my build.



Ummmm, sorry, but that is completely inaccurate since TQ's came on 318's in the lTe 70's with power ratings of 180 HP. (Maybe less even )

If you can find a good working unit, just use the small primary TQ.
That is IF you want to use a TQ. Take the CFM rating out of your head because it is misleading you. The small primary large secondary design of a spreadbore carb make them flexable enough to use on your mello build, which is a little bit more than stock right?
The worst you'll have to do is change a rod.
