I just got through building a 360, it has 455 lift cam, edelbrock intake, msd 6 al box, 8mm wires, new rods, pistons, etc. What carb would you guys recommend? I have a brand new 625 carter 4bbl. It had a 700cfm holley, that was a joke, even after a rebuild never was quite right, so now I'm wondering if this carter will be better? Any opinions? ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shruggy.gif)

what cam/tc/gears/single or dual plane. I think the 625 will be an excellent start. I am a proponent of smaller carbs but I am in the minority there but I even used a 600 holley on a 440 & it ran great. Maybe I was leaving something on the table but I was satisfied.

It has a mopar purple shaft:455/ lift 232 duration. mp lifters, double valve springs, stock replacement mp gears and chain(double roller). Stock crank and bottom. DUAL PLANE EDELBROCK performer intake. MP distributor and pickup, msd ignition and wires. The holley seemed to just be too much, there were times it would be way over board and most of the time it had stumble out of the hole, even after being rebuilt.

CFM of carbs is a bit decieving a Edey 625 doesnt flow the same as a 625 Holley or Demon. For street application or mild Bracket racing I prefer a smaller carb also. That said the Edey will likely run the best out of the box for a truck small venturies will give it good velocity at lower speeds.360s came with thermo toilets and Quadratoilets both in the 800cfm range. The holley 700 stumble is a tuning issue rebuilding it and putting back together the same way it came apart wont produce a change in that. You were going dead lean in the transition. That can be fixed by differant accelerator pump cams bigger squirters etc. When you get a holley or Demon carb dialed in they will make more power than the Edey ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smoke.gif)
