Holley 500 2barrel.

I was at a carb shop today. Noticed a Holley 500cfm 2barrel hanging on the wall. My question is this - What benefits if any would I get from this size carb on a stock 400 in my 78' or a stock 360 in my 71' crew?
It only cost $230 rebuilt. A good deal to me. A rebuilt 2150, which I planned on getting to replace the one on the 78', is $140. $90 more for a carb that can suck in a 1/2 times more air seems like a good idea.?

Cool Holley 500 2barrel.

I put a 500cfm Holley carb on an old, stock 289 years ago, it seemed to work ok, it really benefitted in the high end, so one should be OK on one of youe engines.

It's a great carb, I still have mine in storage from the 2 bbl. days.

If you want to use it on an auto, see that it has the Ford kickdown lever.
