Default How much power?

How much power would you get out of a 1978 460 if you put a dual 650 cfm carb kit on it? I got the 78' 460, and I would like to know the benefits. Would that be to much gas?

more like taking away HP's by using them. 1300 cfm on a stock 78is way too much. You'll need a biger cam than those penut cams that ford use in the late 70. and you'll need to bump up the compresion to about 9.5 or higher to be able to use the cam.

If you want to run dual carbs, go with two 450cfm and a larger cam.
