Carb Size

[bergilong]

I'm looking at pulling a motor from a '95 Mustang. I plan on running the motor completely stock with some headers. What size carb would you guys recommend? Would a 500cfm be fine or would that choke the engine? Would a 600cfm be fine or would it be too large?

Engine is already set up for EFI, why ruin a good thing by adding junk like a carb?

What he said? My guess is that you are afraid of the wiring.

No, the car I'm pulling it out of has already had most of the wiring stripped

500 is fine, plan to tune it down.

Out of the box my Edelbrock 1403 was too rich for my HO, I had to rod and jet it down.

It is crazy what some people think an engine needs...

If you have the manifolds and injectors I would seriously consider finding the harness and computer and leaving it injected though.

Okay, thanks. I'll look at the car and see what's there. I don't want to put too large of a carb on it, and I couldn't get a straight answer from reading other threads.

I'm running a autolite 2150 2 barrel on my daily b2 with a stock 302, think its around 370cfm. great carb but it does run out of volume above 4700rpm.

summit has a carb size page it says a 302 at 5500 rpms
408.52 cfm street or 528 cfm for racing I would go to a 600. I would do a dual plane intake
