thanks for the replies everyone, sorry if i stirred up something
Anyways I decided to go with this carb for a few reasons.
1 - I bought the intake off of another truck forum, I got the clifford intake with the 4bbl adapter and a set of clifford tube headers all for $500 even. These parts were used once on engine startup and then taken off, owner decided to swap in a v8. New all this goes for around 750. So it was a deal I couldn't pass up.
2 - Clifford recommends no less than a 350cfm carb with this intake
3 - since the 4bbl adapter was already there, I decided on the 4bbl
4 - Ive search the forums and a few others and this seemed to be the carb of choice as far as a 4bbl goes
I'm planning to run a few upgrades to this motor as well. Im going to try to find a 848 head, ive already installed a hei distributor, maybe a mild cam (but not sure) and of coarse the headers. I'm also thinking of either a 4 speed Saginaw to replace the 3 speed for an easy swap or a t-5, a little more involved but as it sounds WELL worth it, Currently the rear end is a 12 bolt from a chevy nova (have to find out what gearing I have, maybe tomorrow). It is only going to be a street machine, country road cruising and highway driving.
I will let everyone know how it goes when finished.
