Holley or Edelbrock
 

Ok, I know we have done this before, but we're doing it again.:D I have the choice of a edelbrock performer intake/performer carb, or a edelbrock performer intake/holley carb, or a Weiand Manifold/600 cfm Holley Carburetor. Im leaning towards the Weiand Manifold/600 cfm Holley Carburetor. What do you guys think?
Btw, what is a Offenhauser Manifold? i never heard of them before.

I got the holley carb and wieand intake. I am aiming to start it up by sunday. I always work weekends. You need a special part. it is a transmission kickdown something. <--- Easy to install though.

RE: Holley or Edelbrock
 

why should i need that, when the kick down is already mounted under the car?? Im looking at the specs, and it says the linkage is for a ford.

RE: Holley or Edelbrock
 

Edelbrock all the way. Most work perfectly right out of the box. And if you're running a 289 or 302, the 600 cfm will be too much carb. Go with the 500 cfm.

Yeah Tyler, but that holley im looking at is not a universal, it's for a Ford. And Yeah, I know Dan, I am one of the guys on here that discourage people buying the 600 CFM carbs, but it's a package deal, and a good deal at that. Maybe ill tune it with smaller jets or something. I am putting some bigger heads on it too though, so that might help alittle.

here we go again...lol

RE: Holley or Edelbrock
 

I like the Holley just because I have worked on so many and I'm familiar with them. I have never worked on the edelbrock. Go with what you know I guess.

RE: Holley or Edelbrock
 

What he said, been there done that... Go with Edelbrock all the way and stick with the 500cfm.

RE: Holley or Edelbrock
 

I went with the Edelbrock manifold and carb as well as the matched Edelbrock Performer Plus cam. I like the idea of everything matched and has been dyno'd by Edelbrock. The carb worked great right out of the box. As to 500 or 600 cfm (I went with a 600) it depends not so much on cubic inches as the level of modifications you have done to the engine. A basically stock small block is fine with a 500cfm, but with performance cams, headers and such, a 600 is good too. Might runs great. As to Holley carbs (and a lot of people are partial to them) they are prone to the power valves blowing out. Edelbrock's are not.
