600-650 holley - Aussie V8 | Holden - Ford

Ugly Ash · 03-06-2008, 07:05 PM

hey all, am after a holley carb for a 308 that is currenly looking down the barrel of a mid 14 with a 465 holley on it. am switching final drive ratios and wish to put a larger carb on.
first: any suggestions for which carb to use?
second: anybody want to unload a carb on me that will work (no wrecks please)
thanks
Ash.

Yeh mate, you can borrow my 950 Holley if you want, see how that goes. lol

Ugly Ash · 03-06-2008, 07:18 PM

okay... but I don't think you are serious somehow...

Ugly Ash · 03-06-2008, 07:19 PM

I said 308, not 803.

pro068 · 03-06-2008, 07:19 PM

he he

Ugly Ash · 03-06-2008, 08:20 PM

squarebore or spreadbore? I have been told over the years to stay away from the spreadbore carbs, why? what are the main differences?

pro068 · 03-06-2008, 08:33 PM

It's a square bore. Don't think it would work mate, talk about to much fuel.
Cost me $1800 bucks, heaps of mods done to it.
I think spreadbores are mainly for vac sec?? Probably wrong though

Ugly Ash · 03-06-2008, 08:52 PM

oh, no... I was just asking in general mate, somebody has offered me a spreadbore 650 and I was wondering what the go is with them.
I don't want your carbie mate... it may be too big for my application.
if you want to part with it though, I'll give you a hundred bucks for it!!

nothing wrong with a spread bore carb,
Q jets are a spread bore carb & GM made millions of them world wide, only surpassed by fuel injection,
but all you need is a 600 v/s holley or Q jet,
Iv got a very nice 600 v/s here but it owes me over $300 if you want to make a sencible offer I would consider parting with it, its on my 351 so I dont realy want to sell it but this 308 is gobbling up cash so make an offer

4HUNJYHQ · 04-06-2008, 06:06 PM

ive got a squarebore 600 vac in working order, and a sparie square 600 vac(in pieces) with a broken corner on the baseplate and a rebuild kit to suit, make an offer ash, they are doing nothing except gathering dust here

Ugly Ash · 05-06-2008, 07:45 AM

really dunno what these things are worth 4hunjy, how much would you be after mate?
I am still waiting for pro068 to get back to me for the offer I made him for his carb

pro068 · 05-06-2008, 11:28 AM

Mate go for either 4hunjy or unorthodoxes carbs, they sound like what you need.
Atleast you know they work, thats the main thing.

I have a holley 650 double pumper square bore thats been sitting around for a while. It would need a kit but i'd sell the carb for $100

Ugly Ash · 11-06-2008, 03:40 PM
