I'm preparing to build a 331 with Trick Flow heads (2.02/1.60), RPM airgap, Hooker SuperComps, Comp 270S, MSD 6AL. Four speed, 3.70-ish gears in a '65 Mustang. No a/c, no p/s, no power brakes. I've got an old Holley 3310, a 4150 vac. secondary 780... do you think this too much carb for primarily a streeter?Right now, it's got 68's and 72's.

Since you already have it, you can't go wrong by trying the 3310 out. It may be a little big, but it is a vac. sec. I've used one successfully on a strong 289 or 302 many times. BS

Cool, that's my thinking too... I've already got the thing, might as well run it. What do you think about the jetting? How about power valve sizes?

The one I have on the shelf, that was pulled from a 12 sec. 289 Falcon, has 72 in the front and 75 in the rear, so the 68/72 that you have is not that far off. A fresh Holley Trick kit (HLY-37-933) should have all the other parts you need, if it doesn't already have a kit installed.
