How big is the CFM of a Carter 2bbl?
I think the 2bbl Carter bbd’s are 280 cfm. thanks mjf1212 for the reply. It seems to me that there should be a bigger CFM Carter for some of the Big Block cars, but I could be wrong. Anyone tried to do a conversion to a Holley 500 CFM or maybe the Motorcrap 2100/2150 carbs? 280 CFM is small even for a 318, how about the big block 2bbl’s????
