Yuuup.. I picked one up for $235 a couple of years ago. Ran well on my 65 'Stang before switching to an Autolite 4100. I highly recommend Summit's carb... it's a Holley clone. Go for it.

I bought a Holley 600 because I wasn't sure if I did it again I would have bought the Summit. Cheaper and dual feed.

According to Holley the equation to figure this out is:
Engine CID (460) X max RPM (you plan on spinning) divided by 3456.

Lemme add that the equation above assumes 100 percent VE or "Volumetric Efficiency". Pure race engines typically achieve upwards of 90-95 percent whereas well-tuned street/stock engines generally achieve around 80 to 85 percent. Therefore, multiply the end result by .80 or .85 as a rule of thumb to size the carb... upsize slightly if the engine has a lumpy (over .480 lift) camshaft.
