360 Carb input

[moper]

There are a few 750 Edelbrocks available. One sucks, the other two shouldn;t be too harrd to tune. On the street I'd take an Edelbrock on a milder engine like this over a Holley any day.

750 cfm is not "too big" for a hi-po 360. 340s came with something around 800 cfm from the factory! I have an old 3310 780 cfm vacuum secondary Holley on my 340/727 '69 Dart and never had to touch anything on the carb (other than idle speed/mixture). 3310 Holleys seem to always run excellent right out of the box. I've put them on a 390 Ford, 383 Road Runner, 454 Chevy, and now the 340 Dart. Worked great on all of them, & they all had automatics.

Use the search button. No offense but there has been too many carb and intake questions recently. If you can't find a good answer using the search tool then pull the carb off the shelf and see what it does. Doesn't take 15 minutes to swap carbs.

No offense to you, but there has been a thread for about every subject out there, so shall we quit with all new threads? Everyone just use the search tool? You saw the title of the thread said "carb", so don't click on it if it offends you. Now, to the question, I would say you at least want a 750for that motor....

I can understand this, I usually search all relevant blogs on any subject I need info on , but I like to post anyway because it becomes specific to my application and I can ask direct questions pertaining to my issues/build ..... so have patience with us multiple topic posters, FABO

Its a matter of CFM....required for Maximum Air Consumption.

360 c i...... X MAX RPM........ / by 3456 = CFM

360 x 5000 / 3456 = 520.83 CFM

360 x 5500 / 3456 = 572.91 CFM

360 x 6000 / 3456 = 625.00 CFM

360 x 6500 / 3456 = 677.08 CFM

360 x 7000 / 3456 = 729.16 CFM

360 x 7500 / 3456 = 781.25 CFM

These numbers are pretty close to the Air a given Cubic Inch Displacement engine will move......

A 650 cfm carb would probably be best suited to your engine....because the smaller venturi's...the engines' Vacuum Signal to each cylinder would be improved.

I usually like to lean to the performance side and use a 750 on a 360 because it has larger venturi's and hence less air restriction......and a 650 or less on a 318.

This chart is proven wrong every single day at drag strips all over the country. It's all about the setup.
I thought this nonsense died along time ago.
Evidently not.
