Carb Question...
I have a 350 block .060 over,3.48 stroke W/flat top pistons that now has a Disp. of 360c.i.d. @ 11.2331:1 C.R. A hydraulic lifter cam @ 468/.480 lift and duration @ .050 .220/.231. I have a Edelbrock single plane manifold a 750 c.f.m. holley carb W/mech secondaries and headers. The problem is that I think the carb will be too large,and I was wondering if you guys think it may be poss. to jet this carb down, so that I can still use it. I also have a 3.08 gear W/4 speed. If there is anything else you can see wrong with this setup,please feel free to let me know.

Thanks for all your input Larry. Do you have a way to double check my C.R.? I used the comp. calculator that was on this site a while back, but I agree,something just is'nt right. I really need help on this one,with the selection of a cam being so critical.Anything you or anyone else could do to help me would be appreciated.
p.s. The numbers needed to calculate my comp. are in my other thread "Need help picking a cam"
Thanks to all
Later,
Sly

Hi Lars,
Got the time to check out this thread for me? " need help picking a cam" I can't seem to figure my compression out and the numbers needed to figure the comp. are listed there.
Thanks,

I would post a link, but I don't know how.
