I've had an 850 Holley on my 418 stroker since the car was new. The carb was massaged by Jet Performance, Stage 3. Barry Grant carbs are good ones too, but I liked the "original" look of the Holley, and some of the Barry Grant models look like a giant potatoe on the intake manifold....sorry guys.

No matter what carb you get, take the car to a chassis dyno and an air/fuel meter and dial in your motor's A/F ratio for maximum power and driveabliity. I've seen so many guys driving around with over rich carbs that no only waste gas and emissions, but leave horsepower on the table by not dialing them in correctly.

Next stop for me is stacked EFI like the previous thread touted.
