carb choice
Help please!!! Is a 1050 Dominator too big of a carb for a mild 466?? If not, what brand would be better choice, Quick Fuel or Holley?? Any particular part number. Any help is appreciated!

I ran an 1150 Holley on top of my 466 in a mud drag truck and it did ok. the trick is getting everything else to work together with it.

Re: carb choice
Meaning you need to work out the whole build package to work together. From block prep, rotating assembly, heads/valve train, oiling system, intake, and exhaust. It's a whole package that needs to work together and you can't just throw parts together and expect success. My original build is here:

Re: carb choice
Understood, the motor I have now came from another car, not sure of all the particulars of it, just its a mild .030 over 460. It's equipped with a performer rpm manifold and a 950 alky carb right now with iron heads, and the 2in hooker swap headers. The alcohol is dificult to deal with while its so cold. Just thinking of going to a gas carb. I'm planning on a 521 or 545 build in the near future. Thinking of the Mafia intake and a 1050 and transfering it to the new motor when completed. Just wanted to see if that the change would be too much for what I have right now.
