Good manifold/carb combo for stock 460?

[stashtrey]

Well... it looks like my carb is the cause of all my problems. Apparently it is leaking and causing fuel to build up in my cylinders.
Does that sound possible?
Anyways... I think it's time to freshen up my 30 year old motor. I'd like to replace the cast iron manifold and get a new carb.
This is a stock motor... nothing performance-wise has ever been done to it. I'd like something on the affordable side as my wife is not crazy about all the money I keep spending on this boat!
Any suggestions? What size/brand carb?
I was thinking a Performer manifold and a 600 Edelbrock carb???

460 in my boat has a Performer intake with a dual feed 750 Holley on it. The motor was previously in my 4x4, when it was in the truck it had an Edelbrock 750 on it.....
Gets the job done ok, on a mostly stock engine.... :cool:

I Gotta Good Edel. Bbf Rpm Intake I Would Sell,150 Plus Shipping.hasn't Been Ported,has Blue Alum. Plugs In The Water Ports/vacuum Ports.it Ran Great On Mine,but I Need A Single Plan.

I would vote for a edelbrock performer rpm with a nice holley 750. That should be plenty for a stocker, if you were to bump up the compression a bit and add some better heads, then I would go with a nice SCJ port Offy T-Ram, like I have. :D And two nice 750s.

It's a holley 750 ( I think..). It's not looking very good and it definitely has issues.
IMPATIENT 1 - I might be interested in that manifold. Would I be able to just slap it on my engine or would I need to do some work to it?
I can't do a tunnel ram.... I have an engine hatch with very little clearance.

You won't see a whole world of difference by just bolting on a new carb & intake, but if you must replace those items, then I recommend a Holley 850 Double Pumper and Victor 460 intake.

Yes, and it could be as simple as a bad float or needle and seat assembly. Far simpler and less expensive to repair than to replace.

This means sticking with a MARINE carb if you decide to go with a new one.

performer rpm or the weiand stealth with a holley 750dp carb or a vac secondary with a rear metering block and spring kit(i had this on mine and it worked fine)

Sent you a PM. I may have what you need.

weiand stealth and holley 830!!!!!

[Squirtcha?]

I ran the Weiand and an 850 dp Holley. It worked great on my fairly mild 500 hp BBF with a hydraulic flat tappet cam. If your motor is built for more hp at a higher rpm, I'd probably go with the Victor and a 1050 Dominator.
