440 /super charger add on ?
Had to go to a second post system would not let me add to the first one . Fast forward to 2017 and I am building a 1966 Barracuda AFX funny car for the street . Altered wheelbase and stretched nose . Motor is a 472 Crate hemi with 9 to 1 compression , 6/71 set up with 5 lbs. of boost . I will use a QFT 1050 cfm manifold referenced power valve . I will post a pic of carb , you will see a copper tube coming out the side of it that will attach to a fitting in the intake , this is where you will see vac. this will allow the power valve to work properly and not put to much fuel in the motor . Same MSD set as the other to builds , with a 3 inch . exhaust with a X pipe . The car and motor is set up to run on the street just as you want to do . Using a single carb allows me to use a Don Garlits injector hat air filter assembly . The carb fits inside and uses a K&N filter .
The one thing I have run into is how to set the timing . With the BDS set up there are no timing marks . I took the V-belt pulley and had them cut with degree marks . The set up I have on the AFX car came from Don Hampton , All you get from him is a crank hub with no timing marks . I will get a SFI balancer with degree marks and have a custom spacer made to fit .
As stated a lot more than just bolting it on and mashing the gas petal. Hope this helps to see what you are getting into .
Don't get me wrong , do it the right way and you will get looks and more power than you thought.
