Brad, how does it work? I know the theory behind volume vs CFM and a 750 is too big for a 350 and I have used them without issue, so a 500 is too big for a 250, but in this case, the 250 is bone stock whereas my 350's were hopped up. I don't doubt it would work, just how well, and would a 325 work better? I have a 250 with a 4-barrel intake, and a 500 carb, but I plan to stab a cam in it and a header and maybe a turbo too, so I guess I wonder if MPG and driveablity wouldn't justify the smaller carb?
