Thread: What carbs are 500 CFM

Tweet

I am putting a 283 in a Model A project. I would like to run a 500 CMF carb.Ive run 600's on this engine and would like to step down. I know an Edelbrock 1404 is 500. What other carbs out there are around that.

Call these guys up and talk about it.

Cool Thanks.

What were the carbs on the old 283/270 hp engines, weren't those two WCFB's. I think those were around 500 cfms, or at least close to that.

i thought they were 450's?

you could always use a holley 500 2bbl them are dang good carbs.

i run the holly 390 cfm on mild street sbc and sometimes the 450 cfm.

The 390 may be a good option. I am looking for a 4 barrel. Gonna run an old CH4B Edelbrock intake.

Oouch! just looked at the prices for those.

I may be able to hook you up with a nice Carter Comp Series 500CFM AFB for $125 + shipping uses the same parts as an Edelbrock Performer,send pm if interested,also has electric choke.
