It sure doesn't work for an 8V 427.
By Royce - 04/13/2005 11:40:42 AM; IP 4.224.21.67
The smallest carbs Fomoco ever installed on the 427 were the C3AF 9510-BJ and -BK. They were rated at either 595 CFM each or 600 CFM each in single 4V rating. The vacuum drop across each carburetor is different when two of them are on the same engine. This is why a 2V carburetor uses a different vacuum drop for rating CFM. The formula you are using assumes 4 venturis, not 8.

The BJ - BK carbs are adequate for a mildly modified 427 and are extremely responsive, much like a 600 CFM carb on a 390.
