| RE: 3 Bbl Carb. |

Just remember, Too much is almost enough. :) The 427 Fords love to breathe and as they really run best with a 8 V induction, I would go with the biggest 3 bbl. carb I could find. Holley made them in an 850 cfm variation which would be very good. The vacuum seconday works really well. They are pretty simple to work on if you find a good used one. Just make sure the throttle shafts are not bent, even a little.
A couple of years ago I saw some new ones at a shop so you may want to check with Jegs or Summit. Also there are quite a few companies that restore Holleys to original appearance and specs, something to consider if you locate a used carb that you want. The original Cobras had the air horn on the carbs with little or no problem and if you wanted to you could get a 'Vette air cleaner that sits very low on the carb and uses a tall element. They are pretty pricey now though. |
