Hi!

This is a street engine. Please help me on carb choice.

440 stock stroke
10,5:1 compression
MP 284° ,528" solid flat tappet MP cam
1 7/8" TTI headers
1.6 roller rockers
performer RPM intake
stealth heads unported
keilser 5 speed trans

I was thinking about using an edelbrock 800 AVS carb????

This is a street engine, not a race engine. Reliability, ease of manteinance and consistency is the main thing.

the Holley 3310(750 vac.) would also be a good carb for a street 440

Holley Street Avenger 770 or 870.

Great street carb right out of the box.

Thanks for the advice. I will go with the brock 800 avs then.

Now on another note, I want to add a complete MSD ignition system.

What distributor and what ignition box would you use with this engine? opinions?

Or this. Pretty much the default carb for street hot rods.

No such animal from any manufacturer.
If it runs perfectly right out of the box, there's something wrong with the engine.

AVS 800 is a good choice, may want a little stiffer metering rod spring (orange I think?) to bring the mains in a bit quicker on a 440. i run that carb on my 427 SBF cobra and it has worked flawlessly and has much better drivability and cleaner idle than any Holley I've ever run on a mild (if 511 hp is mild ) high torque street motor.

a 4779 750DP also works really well on a mild 440 with a pink cam and a 31 shooter

Street engine? Whatever you pick, take a distributor with vacuum advance.

I use MSD Pro Billet, 6Al and Blaster(2?) coil. No vacuum advance, lightest springs and whichever bushing gave the most initial advance, worked great, putting same setup in my 383...

I run the 800cfm 1412 Eddy on a similar build, runs great. The stock 750 AVS Carter runs perfect on my 69 GTX, the AVS is a nice working carb, go for it.

I'm going to be the odd man out and say THERMOQUAD!

;-)

Really is a great carb once you learn the tricks, I'm half temped to take the pair of AFB's off my tunnel ram and swap them for TQ's.

The 800 CFM Edelbrock Thunder AVS is a fine carb and strip kits are easy to purchase.

I am truckless..

Plenty of TQ's around, lack of strip kits are the issue for the average consumer. I just drill out or modify my own stuff.

Do NOT listen to people saying that you don't need a vacuum distributor on a street car. To keep your engine cold and to get good mileage you DO NEED VACUUM! Period.
