Sanity check on carb. 650cfm feels right

[DumpsterFire]

Right now my plan is a Chinese knock off air gap and early abody exhaust manifolds for my 5.9 magnum. Pretty sure I'm wanting to go with a eddlebrok 1905 650 cfm. I'm keeping entirely stock internals. Let me know if I'm being an idiot. This is just a street car

You're probably an idiot anyway, but the carburetor sounds about right. Also, you need to look out for head to exhaust manifold clearance. I think the Magnum heads have some extra material that hits the manifold if I remember right. they can be ground to clear.

For a street car with a stock 5.9, just about anything 750 or smaller will hit all the marks. As Rusty said, that 650 "carburetor sounds about right."
'Course I'm kindof partial to Thermoquads, or spreadbores in general.

You should look into getting 5.9 magnum exhaust manifolds with a small section of tail pipe, flange & bolts. They will most likely flow better than stock 273 manifolds. you will have to trim a few inches off the lower steering column. this option will only work with manual steering. AS said above 650 cfm great for street car.

Looked into it, decided not to. At the end of the day I'm making more than enough power for what this thing is. Also playing dress up as a 273 is kinda appealing. In this 64 dart magnum exhaust is a tight fit.

650 is fine.
