Budget 454 build

[MYBAD79]

Yeah maybe it is too big, it probably flows more than 830 also

I think I have another carb, but it's vacuum secondarys and I'm not sure what size. Hopefully it's a 750

A have a 750 Holleythat might be good for what you're doing.... needs a rebuild kit with new gaskets but is clean and complete.... I posted about this carb before:

I found the rebuild kit, it's like $50 (page 2 of that thread)

It looks like this was actually originally a 600 cfm

and the vacuum carb is a 750

Looking good Chris. Did you assemble the block?

 

[Yellow73SB]

Yep, bottom end is good to go

I should be putting the heads on today and hopefully the valve train

Now I have more of a carb problem :smash:. We rebuilt the 750 and put it on my dads 502 because I told him it would run better and well I was right.

Now I have a 600cfm double pumper and 870 vacuum secondary carb.

I should be able to get $200 out of both though and buy a refurbished 750 from holley.

You going to break it in on a stand or in the truck?

Appreciate the offer but is that a square bore pattern?

I'll break it in on the truck. With the roller cam It won't be much of a hassle.

I think I may try the 870, I did the carb recommender thing and it was one on the list

I just looked up all the factory settings and I'll put them back

It ran like **** on my dad's 502, probably because he changed everything and didn't really know what he was doing :crylol:

I don't really have a clue either, so I'll probably be asking for help soon

we have something in common :clap:

The dry rotted gaskets didn't help either.... it will run fine with new gaskets and correct size jets.....

it's sitting here in a box collecting dust, if you don't want it will go in this years Christmas giveaway thread...

Too bad you can't get the 750 off your dads ride to see how it runs on your engine. If you have the fifty bucks plus freight, then mybads offer might be worth the thought.

If you are going to do any off roading....here is how they unstuck you....

Sounds like pure animal! What size is the carb did you end up with?
