Re: inline 6 carb. question

I was thinking about running a Rochester 2G carb on the stock intake with an adapter plate. According to this website, the 2G flows from 225-435 cfm.

You guys think the Rochester 2G is worth a shot?

Carb Sizes and CFM
Even though the 2G ended major production in 1979, it still lived on a little further in boats, heavy equipment, and even school buses. In the heavy-equipment applications, some of the carburetors had governors on them even so those can actually be more desirable because they are the biggest ones.

The cfm (cubic feet per minute-a measure of how much air the carburetor can flow) on the Rochester 2G ranges from about 225 cfm in the smallest applications up to what Rochester calls a 435 cfm. But the 435 is actually commonly referred to as a 500-cfm carb in circle track racing because it has the same diameter venturi bore and throttle bore sizes as the Holley 4412, which is a 500-cfm carb. Rochester just ran a different test on the flow bench to rate its carbs than Holley did, but generally, if you flow them both on the same bench, each will flow right around 500 cfm.
