My friend sent this picture to me and says "Do you think this will fit under my stock hood of my '68 Cuda?"

The class is NHRA SS/JA and that is the carb it is limited to. It is actually a tad bigger than the AFB that was on it. I think it is around 600 cfm and that is not much to power a 383 Chrysler engine that is .060 over. Trouble is we are stuck with it by the rules

dry sump it and it might?

Rules won't let us do that either. You really have to be a thinker to make one of these thunder. That is why we are just a low rumble

Hi Lynds,
Nice hearing from you! I like turning the corners as well. I am lucky now as we built a new home that is only a couple of miles from Miller Motor Sport Park. I have a friend that works over there.

I also wanted to let everybody know I made a mistake on the carb for this engine. It was a 600 cfm but this new Holley is a 720 cfm so that should help a lot. He found a rare option and happen to find the carb for that option.

John, why does he think he need the 2" spacer under the carb?

We don't know for sure how the car will run with it. He did it so we could run it both ways. Some engine combinations respond with a little more top end with a spacer. Besides ain't that two inch spacer SEXY

From the top of the valley pan rail to the top of the air horn on the carb it is 13"
