Carb suggestion for 360
Not slamming anyone's choice of carbs, I know a lot of guys prefer Holleys, but there is nothing wrong with running the Edelbrock carbs. They are a modern version of a proven carb. I ran the 600 cfm version on my 340 for the last seven years. You give up some adjust ability but it was pretty much, set it and forget it. And when I sold it three months ago for $100, it was a perfectly functioning carb with plenty of miles left in it.
My builder recommended the
Edelbrock 1812 for my 408 so that is what we went with. Hopefully in the next few months I'll be able to let you know how it performs.
