Thoughts on FST carbs
I need a better carb for my 496 than the Edelbrock 800 and am looking at this FST product. 850 CFM RT X Carburetor Electric Choke Mechanical Secondary 41850X-2
My engine builder said the Edey will lean out at wot and will need a number of changes to perform well and not damage the engine. I did by a kit with jets and metering needles but would prefer a carb that "should" be easier to tune. The engine has an NOS 280H cam and 1965 396 heads that were rebuilt to stock specs...can't find the casting number right now. Anyone have experience with FST ? Thanks ! Found the head casting #3856206 Pistons are flat top, spec'd for zero deck with the crank and rods. Block was not surfaced.
