Sidewinder and 780cfm question...
By Gary Morris - 11/05/2001 11:12:59 AM; IP 205.188.192.22
I need some opinions and what better place to ask them. I'm a lurker from way back but now I need some help. I currently have a 427 sideoiler in a Cobra replica. It's running 10 to 1 comp, ported and polished C4AE6090G heads with Cobra Jet valves, Cross Drilled 428 crank, Offenhauser Port-O-Sonic with Holley 850 DP. Cam is Crane 226/226 @.50 with .537 lift. Car runs good and has plenty of power but someday I want to do another engine and have been collecting some parts for that time. I have acquired a Shelby lettered sidewinder intake that I would like to run someday along with aluminum heads etc..etc... This weekend a Holley C5AF9510BE carb was up for sale on e-bay.This was the 780 cfm with the Lemans bowls and all. From my research this was the correct carb for a 65 competition Cobra and I am trying to replicate a 65 S/C and thought this might be a cool addittion. I literally feel asleep and missed the end of the auction. My question is since this was a factory combination in 65 just how well would this setup work today? My car runs good now but not as strong as I would like down low. Personally I would like a combination that would run like stink down low and sacrfice the top end as it gets real spooky in a Cobra after 100. Are these carbs really hard to find? Any help appreciated.

Gary
