408 Build Thread

I spoke with Doc, my builder, yesterday and we discussed carburetors. I had a chance to buy an Edelbrock Thunder Series 800 at a pretty good discount and wanted to get his opinion of them. He said that he has run three of them, and is currently running one on the 360 he built for his truck. He said that he is familiar with tuning them and that he has jets and rods in stock for this carb so tuning it on the dyno should be no problem.



I bought the carb through Pep Boys and got a 20% discount. After doing a little poking around on the web I found that Edelbrock is having a Big Carb Deal, which means I get a FREE Edelbrock air cleaner after I send them proof of purchase. The carb should be here by the end of the week.
What air cleaner are you gonna get?
My dad runs them on his charger and just switched to an 850 cfm one from an old carter and he loves it much better throttle response then the old worn carter
