How many of you SBF racers & street/strip fellas run or have run a Holley 700DP? Seems like I see lots of folks running a 650DP or a 750DP, but not that many running a 700DP.... Are they an ugly duckling carb or a overlooked sweet carb? The reason for my asking is this: Currently I have a good 650DP (List# 0-4777-2; 65/74 jets; #31/#28 squirters; 2.5"PV) with a Stealth intake on my 306". However, I'm planning to pull the Stealth and install a C90X-B intake. I also have a good, but old 780VS (List #3310) Holley on the shelf. So I was wondering if it would be worth-while to track down a 700DP Holley to run on the C90X, rather than use the 650DP or even the 780VS......... Any thoughts on this are appreciated! By the way: 351W heads, 1.94/1.60's; Ultradyne solid lifter cam; 252/260 @ 0.050; 586"/608" @ 106 lobe separation & has 4.56 rear gears. Thanks again for any opinions or thoughts!

I've ran everything imaginable on a little 306. The larger 750-800 sizes usually give a little better mph at the top of the track but kill response and torque down low without a killer stall converter. The 600-700 have smaller primaries for quicker throttle response off the line. With a dual plane, stick shift, and big cam, I like the 650 DP on top of a 1" four hole spacer. ------------------

I'm a big fan of the 4778. I use them on as many SBF Holley applications as I can.------------------

I have/had a 700 Holley DP.It been a good carb, right up until I built my new 347. Ran great initially for 10-15 miles and has since falled apart and I can't get it to idle to save its life. A rebuild hasn't fixed my problem. Anyways, I really don't blame the carb size... I think I have something stupid going on internaly somewhere. Unfortunately my backup carb is a 850 DP which runs just fine, lol ------------------

2bav8,
Do you want to sell your 700DP then?
