I hear what you're saying.. The same rule-of-the-thumb principles for a single carb, CFM wise, doesn't necessarily apply to a multiple carb setup. Several members on fordfe.com, 2 or 3 of our most trusted engine builders and the tech guys with Quick Fuel feel that 600 cfm carms are a little too small for my combination and I will be sacrificing some top end performance. I just can't let that happen..

That being said.. I've made a decision on the carb path I'm following. There is actually a "buy now" that popped up on Epay for a brand new in the box set of Carl's Ford sourced BC/BD carbs for $1K, a good deal for someone. I've elected to go with a set of custom built carbs by "Quick Fuel". They recommended building a set using new #3310 750 bodies and doing some trick "under the bowl" secondary adjustable jets, linkage mods and other improvements. The bowls and carb lengths will be same as the factory stuff. They will set them up expressly for my engine, flow bench them and they will look the same as the BC/BDs too (at least to a novice). The cost is just a small amount more than the above BC/BDs.
