At the moment I have a Holley 850 QFT race carb on my 408 Stroker engine. I bought my 74 Duster back with the Original 360. Buddy of mine had swapped in this Stroker setup with Eagle kit. Would like to make a bit more streetable and tone the carb down. Any suggestions on that? Thanks.
 
Spreadbore carbs work very well in street applications. Mileage and power on demand.
 
Run two Thermoquads on top of some 2" spacers on top of a 6-71 on top of an 8" Rude Ron blower spacer. That'll get them puppies over the roof.
 
What are the specs of the motor?

The double pump shouldn’t make it not streetable. Maybe run a 750 double pump or just a vacuum sec.

Does it have a single plane or duel plane intake.

I ran a 1050 on a 416 out of the box, added a 2.5 power valve and larger air bleeds, Worked perfect through RPM's with a rich lean gauge on each bank to tune it. I started with an 850 went to a 950 and then a 1050. It like that 1050,

Cam , Heads, and tube size plays a big roll. If you can't let it out you can't bring it in. 686 roller with indy 360 -1 heads. and 2 inch primaries through 3 1/2 exhaust with mufflers. 12.8 -1
 
You're tarded over.
Show me a brand name and part number. I already know that you can't, and the factory intake manifold doesn't count because I'm talking about what's available everyday and not just once in a while.
 

I do have the original factory spread bore intake and thermoquad. I did think of trying that and would be an easy swap.I like the hot air choke deal too. This electric choke I have on it now is worthless.
