I am running a 66 426 Hemi, now a 484 stroker, With a .557 lift Can, JE pistons Manley rods. Using stock heads, stock intake, Stock valve train but with headers. Car is 67 Coronet with 4-speed and 4.10 gears. Would a pair of 625's be good? Thank you.

Actually Andy that's what I have now. I am going To run it at the track once in awhile and I am worried I'll starve the engine at top end.

The result of small carbs is generally rich mixture on top end.

If your going to use the stock progressive carb. linkage your right foot will control the part throttle driving The carb. size will control the wide open throttle power I've owned, raced and built a bunch of 426 street Hemis and larger stroker 426 Hemi motors. I've never treid the smaller 500 CFM but the customers I put 750 CFM carbs. on like those Your choice

You wont starve the engine(which I think you really mean running out of fuel)... the smaller carbs have smaller bores so that restricts the amount of air... if you have the jetting correct you will just run out of power at a lower RPM... if its a daily driver keep the smaller carbs on it... why burn more fuel

Mike if you have a truly stock hemi intake you can't run anything bigger than a 625 without modifying the intakes primary throttle bores , or putting the carbs on a spacer that will allow the primaries to open. If you decide want to go to 750's I have a minty never run set of 750's clones for sale ...

Thanks everyone for your input. I am not quite finished with the build/car so I think I am just going to go with the twin 500's for now and see how the car does. I did check a plug after breaking in the cam and it was not running lean.

I am running a pair of 770 vacuum quick fuel carbs with annular boosters on the primaries and downlegs on the secondary's. Having vacuum carbs allows me to not over carb and supply enough air at any rpm. Tim
