i'm not a real motorhead yet, so i came here,
Now, I know a lotta performance engines use these new fangled fuel injectors, but with a 66 mustang fastback, i wanted to throw in a good old fashoned carburetor....so my question is, would this work with a 460 big block?.......if so, what kind of carburetor would you recomend??
I use a 700 carter on my 460 and changeing to a 600 holly but thats in my truck your putting a 460 in a 66 mustang tight squeez make sure you connect the sub frame I put one in a 67 I had It now in the junk yard It got twisted all up as far as what carb to what do you plan on doing with it and how much yuo have done to motor
honstally.........i dont have anything yet...........i'm just planning it out for when i get some money...you know, so i aint stumbelin around in the dark....lol......
So a 460 sounds a little big eh?.....i knew it would be a tight fit, bit i didn't even consider the well being of the frame....lol....
I'm just lookin to have a really, really powerfull 66 fastback....its my 1st car and i want it to be the greatest thing i have ever done....lol
you might consider a 351 cleveland or if you can find one a 351 boss that would make that 66 stand up and take notice:p
ok...thanks man...that sounds like a plan!......i'll check them out.......so would either of thses happen to come with a sweet stock carb?.....or am i still gonna be askin around?......lol

If you ask me a predator is a big carb for that motor and if you're not pushing more than 400 ponies out of it it's almost useless. you might try a 650 carter to a 750 edelbrock or holley I like carters and edelbrocks because they are easier to tune

one of the best things about a perdator is has a variable venturi, you can change a fuel cam in them that lets you run from about 600 to 930 cfm. carb. the size of the cfm is according to how much air your motor can pull through the carb. if a predator is working right it does its own tuning **) **)
the ones ive run was 600-930 and had 3 cams so you could richen or lean the carb. to what ever fuel you needed. that was a race carb. only, the st. carb. might come with more choices. :3dSMILE:Quote:

Yes, this may be true, but the same could be said about Edelbrocks or Holleys. A lot of how these carbs are rated relies on the Jets. As such, with the interchangeability of any modern performance carb, you can tune it to almost any motor. All you need is the shell. Oh, and if it was me, i would run an Edelbrock performer 700.
wow.....thse forums are surprisingly live!......lol.......Ok, so i shall check all these out....not to sound like i dont deserve a sweet car, but these carbs spoken about....would go with most or any "carb motor"???..:P...lol..........i'll be back in a while with some pics to show off.....lol....thanks!
