What size carb are you looking for ? I kept the carb from mine when I put the EFI on it. Hardly any time on it, and we were hanging on to it just in case David decided to pick up another project car. But we will be moving and I told him that we just need to sell the parts we have.

It's a specific Quadrajet, I found a few... just need to buy one.

It is highly likely that the car is getting a 427...

I blame Tony. ;)

Picking it up tomorrow. 69' "512" block, 69' "291" square port heads, etc. I have a set of 4.56 gears on the shelf, might as well go all out.

Now yer talkin! I am a fan of the 427 from way back. I don't know about the 4:56 gear though. I ran that ratio in the Nomad for a couple of years. The first 1/4 mile driving was fun, but that got old quick. I ended up with a complete Moser with 4:10 ratio.

I'll deal with the gears, I have a late model truck with overdrive and cruise control when I want to go long distance. I want the experience of solid lifters and steep gears.

Finally got it on an engine stand this past Tuesday.

looks like fun
my version of the 427 was with L88 style pistons, cam, springs, valves, 850 carb
had both M21 or 3550 tremec OD transmissions
big mix of gears 4.88, 4.56, 4.33, 4.11, 3.73..
liked the 4.33 best with the M21 and a 225hp shot of nos...:p
liked the 3.73 best with the OD 3550tremec 5speed.:D
idle @ 1400rpm, pulled hard to 7600rpm:beer:

Looks like you're in the direction. Any update on your project?

Been really busy trying to get my 72 ready for paint. Right now plans are to do rust repairs this fall. But, we'll see...
