12a Square bore carb?
So I'm new to this forum, not really new to Rotary's. But I have never really got to technical with them.
I'm looking to build a 12a bridge port, with a racingbeat square bore intake. Header, electric fan, Gilmer belt drive (you know they sound cool!) I just want a decent street motor, but what would be the best carb to run? I was thinking a 500cfm edlebrock thunder seiries would make for easy tuning, and good street manners. Though I mostly see people running holley's over 600cfm. I should mention I would like to keep the choke on it, and keep it simple. The motor is going in a 76' Ford Courier.. lol |
I would contact Racing Beat and ask them what carb they recommend
|
They recommend the Holley 465. But it has a shaved choke horn, and I'm not a big fan of that carb.
|
The holley 465cfm that I had from them had a choke on it.

Did it work good?? I just like the Eddy carbs better, was really hoping the 500 had been done before. |
Yeah it worked fine
|
I'm still leaning heavy on the Edlebrock 500 AVS thunder.
I found some info on a street ported 12a running one from a different page. He said it ran great right out of the box, but needed some tweaking. That being said, I was planning on doing a bridge port, and mixing my fuel as well. I have to wonder if it would harm/foul an Edlebrock carb? Or if I would need to do some jetting.. I highly doubt it, but the thought is there. |
I'll add that the other option in my head was the FiTech EZ street throttle body EFI setup.
Those are sick!! But the kit is $800. Plus the intake and gaskets, the price starts to add up quickly. |
