Hi I have a 66 dodge dart and Im getting a new offenhauser 4 barrel intake from a local speed shop and I was wondering which 4 barrel 500cfm carb you would recomend?

 

i like to go with holley carbs all the way but as like everything else people have there own preference

 

are in interested in stock?
it is not stock, but edelbrock is modeled after the original carb
it all comes down to preference
for street driving; without wanting to go through a lot of tuning, i'd go with an edelbrock

 

Dartster -

Sorry for showing my ignorance, but which motor, and is the new manifold spread bore or square?

I will only ever run HOLLEYS!

 

Its a 225 slant 6 engine so unless i go with a 2 barrel Holley is out of the question which brings me to another question what should I run 2 or 4 barrel? Let me know what you guys think I am using it for street use car shows but enventually Id like to take it to the strip.

Cheers,
Lorenzo

 

slant six why cant you go with a holley? holley has a 390 cfm 4bbl that would work better than a 500cfm on a six or a holley 470cfm

 

Put a 4 bbl on it. BUT, my REAL opinion on it would be 1) put a big block in, or 2) Slap a turbo on and youre set

 

my slant is completely built and i'm running a carter/edelbrock 500 and it's almost at the point of being overfed. on an engine with stock internals, the 390 holley will work but is a tad much (had one before i tore into the engine).

unless you're camming it, best and cheapest bet is to find a factory 2bbl manifold and replacement carb. with the 2bbl you wont have to get headers. a 4bbl alone is like going to a pancake eating contest when you're constipated...

 

Thanks john what cam did you go with?
