71 valiant engine build, which carb to use

I have 1200 cfm's on my 318.... (a pair of 600's), and it's nowhere near the motor you are working on....
Dang, I can't argue with that. If you're running dual quad with 1200cfm on a mild 318 with no Ill effects then definitely the 800 cfm would be good to go on ours. Thanks for the info.
