Carb recommendations for my 340

Oh man you opened up a can of worms! LMAO.

AJ is right on carb size working from little to big. Considering the build, I’ll also assume a decent gear ratio is back there for the go fast effect.

I can only say what I would do and having used a 600 AFB to a 750, I liked the 750 a little better. Even on the lower rpm side of just around town or initial take off, there was a better and more powerful feel from the gas pedal. Of course, everything will be the state of tune.

If you don’t have a preference of intakes, I would use the RPM. I’ve had both intakes, so there’s that behind my choice. Nether is bad and nether is worth getting rid of for the other. Since you have both, try it for yourself and decide.

Some will run the LD-340 because it’s a ”Day 2” hot rod part and others will run the rpm without care or concern of that period correct hot rod part.

So far my favorite combo was the MP tips modified LD-340 and the big TQ.

Yeah I should’ve expected a conglomerate of answers it’s kind of like asking people what’s the best cam which is super subjective. And yes it’s going to have a decent gear ratio on it I have a set of 3.91s on the side. And a day 2 build is exactly what I’m looking to do all parts I have for the most part are about mid to late 70s. I just have a major appreciation for people that keep their cars to the time period but of course there’s nothing wrong with taking advantage of modern tech. I want to run the LD but my issue is the plenum divider being completely removed and ported a ton for a race application and I’m not sure if that’ll affect how drivable it is. Also an update on the carb I got a Holley 750 DP from my dad as he’s going to a fitech system for his car. I appreciate everyone’s input thank you
