What kind of carbs are used in a 440?

So now that we have things in perspective we need to know what intake you have I assume it is a stock 440 intake but the 440 used both the square bore carbs & the TQ spread bore . The Spread bore is hard to buy new , holley does have some available but 95% of performance carbs are square bore .

How big of a carb do you need for a Holley?

750 square bore holley is what I would run. Sure you can over carb it but you will give up some throttle response down low to get that extra bit up top. Sounds like you got a street motor and will not be reving the motor up to max RPM much so I would stick with a smaller carb. If you run a spread bore you run some thing like 850 cfm.
