Hey..I use dual Holleys on my 428...vacumn carbs (always use vacumn carb(s) on the street) but your question raises another point. I have to say, that the Holley carb is the worst designed carb I have ever seen for 1 main reason. Side hung float bowls. Leak prone and non-conducive to jet changes because of the mess and copious quantities of new gaskets required. I do admit, it does have a lot of "pros" vs this one main "con". I would NEVER ever use a Holley on a boat, as I know it would eventiually leak and the bilge would fill with funmes, and the blower wouldn'ty get it all, and their would be either a gigantic explosion or a fire...neither a great thing when you are on the water. However, a 650 cfm carb of any make seems about right for an engine around 352 ci displacement (for a street engine)

 I'd say use the 600 CFM if you plan......... -- Ed Jenkins, 09/09/2001
