[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4311521, member: 15054"] The 4 barrel version I would use an Edelbrock performer series 1405 or 1406 or a motorcraft 2 barrel if you have one of those laying around. I tested over 6 different carbs on a 302 ford that was a little hotter than stock. My daily driver in a 6000 lb van. from the 390 economaster to the 750 Qjet Holley and AFB/edelbrock. Only 1/2 MPG difference between any of them. I got the same performance from all but the small 390. I ended up keeping a motorcraft 2 barrel on it. My 57 chevy and my Nova and the 47 dodge truck all have Edelbrock performer series carbs on them. Super reliable and so easy to tune. I love a Quadrajet but they really work best on a spreadbore intake. Now if you are good at tuning a Holley then use one of those. I can tune them very well but I just never cared much for them vs the AFB style. I have over 60 carburetors of many kinds at my disposal and always reach for the ASFB style when I can. I ran them on my 240Z 260z and 280ZX engines also. DO not get the little 500 cfm ones go 600. [/QUOTE]
