Exclamation Holley Carb help?

I need help choosing what cfm carb i will need.

306 engine
E-303 cam
gt-40 heads
BBK headers
4.10 gears
TKO tranny

It was a EFI setup but went to carb. It was a very strong engine with EFI but i have changed to a victor jr. intake and not realy sure on the cfm's i'll need to get the most from the engine. May put a small shot of nos later.

Most will tell you a 600-650 will be just fine and I would agree with that.

And now the headaches start..... LOL

Good choice, but not the one I would have made. BUT, either way, plan on LOTS of tuning to get that sucker dialed in. I'm not a big fan of "chokes", but I don't leave the garage until I'm up past 140* either.

That's a good carb, and it'll treat you well. If you "listen" to it. It'll tell you what it wants.
