Spoke with the good people at Barry Grant today and before I could get two words out of my mouth I was informed the 850CFM was much too large for my 460.
When I bought the engine from Motorsport I asked which carb they used to obtain the rated horsepower. I was told they used an 850 Holley out of the box with minor adjustments. My thinking, the B/G is an improvement, why not go with that. Same CFM, WRONG. Quote "Our carbs flow significantly more fuel than a Holley. He told me to stop messing with it, because no amount of adjusting will keep it from running rich. He said send it in and they will change the boosters to the larger diameter so theres more air and less fuel. $65.00 plus round trip shipping. There goes another $100.00 to my hobby.
