    The 1971 Challenger is coming to life.
    « on: December 20, 2008 - 11:02:41 PM »
    We are having the drivetrain installed in the 1971 Challenger this week. Brand new 408 crate motor. New 4 speed, new MSD ignition. New flywheel and dual friction clutch. New headers. We have a 650cfm, I'd like a 750cfm but I'm not sure we have enough oxygen up here.

    I can't wait to piss off the neighbors.    :bananasmi

    Sounds good, but I'm sure your going to need the 750cfm carb with that engine.

    You need a 750 minimum , the Holley 82751 or the Proform 750 would be Ideal

    Won't the fact that we live at 7,500' above sea level, a half mile above the mile-high city swamp a big carb?

    I can never understand why some 750 cfm's are $200 and some are $450?

    BTW pics are coming.  :bricks1:
