For any 350" Chevrolet STREET engine this is the ideal Holley to use: https://www.holley.com/products/fuel...parts/0-1848-1
With its small bores and vacuum secondary it'll give you the performance you want along with excellent fuel mileage.

Wow....a 465CFM 4 BBL.......
Obviously there are different ideas of "street".
Mine is I want it to drive nice....and then run off and hide from anyone else when I stomp the pedal. In my version..."running off" means IN FRONT.....in your version it means "hope nobody sees me"!!
Huge difference in a car you never use past 1/4 throttle or 3000 RPM and one that can drive like that but still provide REAL performance. I think you need to spend some time in a REAL FUN street car.

Exactly. Have you guys noticed that he'll fling a little turdball out there as bait. If nobody responds, he'll fling another little turdball out there to try again. If you don't respond to it at all, his game is over. He becomes irrelevant. We've been through this before with him. If everybody puts him on their "Ignore List" his fun is over.

For street engines it's all about those two unpleasant words "Volumetric Efficiency" that limits the engine's ability to fill its cylinders. At the low end it's the cam's overlap that kills the V.E. and at the high end it's the restrictions of the intake and exhaust that kills the V.E. With large exhaust pipes and LOUD mufflers the best you can ever expect is a 90% V.E. The #1848 Holley makes an excellent choice for street 350's but a #1850 can be used but at the expense of lower fuel mileage and lesser throttle response. Remember, your STREET 350" is run at low rpm's about 99.999% of the time
