I need carb info:
I'm geeting ready to kick off the 05 car season in sometimes sunny MI. I have a 1964 Ply Sport Fury w/ a 426 hemi 650-700 bhp (4spd) The eng is set-up a 69-70 Nascar bathtub intake (i.e. lot of plenum air, long runners) this setup should deliver good low-end torque.
The issue: the set-up runs what i will call a standard carb (i.e. 750-850) base-plate. I'm told that Dominator type carb would work best but that would requier a intake top plate change.
Question: Can you re-work a 850 cfm to say 1000 +

Thanks,

Todd

What does your driving skill have to do w/ my carb. I though the forum was for all makes. But thanks for the info

First, I would ask myself if the dominator info came from a reliable source that has experience with this intake or is this just some nutball that thinks he knows and has convinced you.

If it is determined that the Dominator is the way to go, isn't the top plate just a flat plate that could be replaced with another top plate fabricated from aluminum with the Dominator bolt spacing and holes and then bolted to the manifold?

As far as hogging out an existing carburetor, call these guys and ask if they can do it. If not, ask if they know who can.

secondly i would ask why you put this in small block fords??

but yeah a carb can be hogged out, for bumping up the CFMs you should mainly just have to change the venturi size in it... and respectively put larger jets in....
