Re: Help with Build Please

Which carb to use has been asked a bunch of times on this forum and the answers seem to vary quite a bit.

My brother likes Holleys and my son likes Edlebrocks and I am undecided.

I have heard that a 600 cfm carb is plenty for a near stock 454 to get low end torque. Others have said that a 750 is better if you want higher rpms.

Since I am new at these old trucks I am torn between which brand and cfm to buy for my near stock '73 454.
