Looking at a Edelbrock 1411 Performer Carburetor 750 CFM for my
'71 442 w30
Anyone gone down this road and know what i might b getting into?

Did some EMAIL with Edelbrock and didnt get much help

From what ive pieced together
-Need an adapter plate. Will the carb height + this plate make height to h for the Forced Air Hood ?
-Linkages work without rework or is there a kit?
-Fuel Line ?
-Anything else i might run into

O R should i b looking at another Mfg.

 

I would be looking at having the original Q-Jet rebuilt by one of the good rebuilders that specialize in Q-Jets. Forget the Edelbrock.

 

The only certainty is that the E-brock will be jetted incorrectly out of the box. I'm with Ed. Why would you want an aftermarket carb on this car?

 

Generally you could clear the hood with a square bore carburetor adapter. If not, you could always go to an aftermarket air cleaner. I bet your OAI hood wouldn't be easily adapted to an aftermarket carburetor though. Ultimately, changing to an aftermarket carburetor opens a whole can of worms. You'd need to adapt the throttle linkage; as well as, any transmission kickdown linkage too. There are no "kits" that will let you bolt it on and go.

 

X2 with ED...Don't believe all the hard knocks the Q-jets receive at times.
