My engine builder is finishing up my 440, and it was time decide upon the carb. I reread the carb threads, but found zero input on this particular one.
The engine is a '68 block with a steel crank and stock 906 heads. It is supposed to be rebuilt to approximately the 440HP level: .030 over, light weight KB237KTM pistons to slightly above 1 to 9.0 compression, Edelbrock Performer Plus 2192 cam (204 int./214 exh. @0.50, range 0-5500rpm) for low-end torque, and Edelbrock Performer 2191 intake to complement. 440 source deep oil pan. A set of '70 HP manifolds will be put on it after the break-in run.
My initial idea was to use a Edelbrock 1406, 600cfm, or a Thunder-series 18054, 650cfm for a good response. However, my engine builder commented on the former being "a gas thrifting thing", and the latter that he had no experience on that one. He recommended a Holley Avenger 770 cfm (#0-83770, aluminium body).
