RE: [Chevelle-list] Malibu Carb question

But...you're lucky to get 75%-80% VE on any given street engine. :*)  A normal street 283 isn't going to see the high side of 5500 and live very long either, to be honest.  So...in the real world   283 * 5500 / 3456 = 450.  Multiply that times 75% and you get 338.  Of course, there are always exceptions and VE can vary - but not much.  :*) Dale McIntosh TC Gold #92/ACES #1709/NECOA #41 67SS/67 Elky DalesPlace  My 67 SS and 67 El Camino ChevelleStuff  Decoding info on 64-72 Chevelles Team67  1967 Chevelle/El Camino Specific MidwestChevelles  Midwest Chevelle Show Information I've stopped 1,541 spam messages.

A 600 CFM carb is only appropriate on a 283 if you are running it at over 7000 RPM. If it is a streetcar, you are probably better off with a 500 CFM. That would get you 100% VE at a little under 6000 RPM.   John Nasta Old Car Network http://oldcarnetwork.com     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Gunner Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 9:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Malibu Carb question   Hi John,   I did the same thing on my '64.  Used the Edelbrock 600 CFM 4 BBL.  Does get the job done <grin>.    -= Gunner =- -= Jacksonville FL =- -= www.tail-gunner.net =-       -------Original Message-------   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; The Chevelle Mailing List Date: 02/24/04 16:44:11 To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: [Chevelle-list] Malibu Carb question   Does anyone know where I could find information on the carburetor size that was on the 66 Malibu, 2 barrel, 283 motor. I need to replace mine and was thinking about getting a edelbrock 4 barrel manifold and carb but not sure of the cfm to get. Any hints or suggestion would be great.       John   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Pelle Andersson Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 10:35 AM To: Chevelle Mailing List Subject: [Chevelle-list] Off subj?
