QJet off 72 Toronado--change of application
I have a QJet off a 72 Toro as told by allyolds68 (thank you!). Considering using this on my .060 over 455 in 70 Cutlass Convert.
QJet numbers: 7042252 RF, 2001.
Car set-up:
455 .060 over forged TRW pistons
400-450 HP and Torque
TH400 Auto shift kit
2000-2500 Stall torque converter
3:31 posi gears
Cam to be determined---500-510 lift max. Looking at Erson and Comp Cams. Hydraulic. Stock valve train.
G heads--stock.
Edelbrock Performer #2151 Intake
Hooker Headers 1 7/8 in chassis #3202
Pro Set-up HEI
Use: Stop light to stop light. Highway cruising. NEVER going to track.
Queston: How is this QJet going to work on my car?
Question: Is it enough carb? What is the CFM of this QJet? The pro rebuild on this carb is about $350.
Recommendation: Someone to do rebuilt on this QJet?
Question: Am I better off stepping up for a Holly 850HP out of the box at $650 or will this QJet do the trick at $350 for quality/pro rebuild?
Thanks.

That is a 750 cfm, the 76 and later 800 cfm custom tuned to your combo might be better. Contact Ken at Everyday Performance. His prices are decent and he might accept that core on trade.
