    « on: May 30, 2015 - 09:05:04 AM »
    I have a stock 1970 340 with j heads and I need a carb.  What carb and intake would yall
    Suggest.   Car has a manual transmission.  I was thinking since I need a carb why not change
    The stock intake.  I am not sure of what cfm the motor needs.  Thanks

    Stock intake is pretty good actually and hard to improve on. Personally I would put a 650 AVS on it but there are lots of good choices out there. Just don't put an AFB on it.

     :iagree:
     The factory intake is one of the best , not worth $300 to go sideways IMO
     Carbs you want 2 x the CI so 650-700 CFM , My preference is Proform or QuickFuel or Holley HP series
     EFI rules if you can afford it

    get a Thermoquad 

    does your engine have the OEM cast intake... with the spread bore design ? If so....   one more reason to pick up a "new TQ "

    Greetings Juergen


    BTW  my 340  runs great with the TQ   better than   EDE AFB  or AVS...
