I also agree that 500cfm is plenty...I would go with 450cfm if I can find so e that will work

What 4bbl carb is a 450CFM that will fit that manifold?

The Edlebrock Performers are 500CFM and they have the smaller bolt pattern that you need. Holley carbs have a larger bolt pattern that's not gonna fit.

Is that the factory intake manifold or an aftermarket version?

i have a factory iron manifold for a 383 but i never used it in the '65. the car always ran perfect with all it's o.e. equipment and i just couldn't ague with perfection.

Well that works for sure.
Carb needs to be rebuilt in mine and I figured would try something new / different & maybe give it a little more pap!

Give the Fury a little more PEP rather!

Yes I have seen those 3 x 2bbl set ups once while.

there are only so many bolt patterns. one or another i think you'll have it covered. how are your fabrication skills? have you considered linkages?

I was thinking the WCFB and the AFB had the same bolt pattern. I was wrong about that.
