Anyone know if Edelbrock........?????

Question is : Will an Edelbrock carb bolt up to a Racing Beat intake manifold (holley)???? I think my new motor w/ the larger intake and exhaust ports will be better of with this set up. Currently have a weber Dcoe and really dont want to go the Holley route again.

I had many holley's in the past. RB's 465 cfm, 600's, 650's and none of them were easy to tune. My Weber on the other hand is very easy to tune. I dont want to use a Weber on my new motor because I wanted something different and my research tells me Edelbrock is the way to go plus my 45 dcoe wont be enough for the large SP. Tuning is even very simple on an Edelbrock, again this is all from what I've read havent actually tested one yet! Proof was also at the Pan Ams. Most cars that had the hoods up had a Holley or Edelbrock. I still love my Weber 45 DCOE just time for something new!

Make sure you go with a "thunder series" edelbrock. The secondaries are tuneable on them.
