well my cam questions are solved, i ordered the 32-238-4 cam from Compcams ,238/238dur and 570/570 lift for the Cleveland.. so thanx for that!!But has anyone ever used a Proform carb-body to upgrade your flow from 600 to 750cfm???? i might get my hands on a cheap 650vs Holley..
or is it better to buy a new carb???? Ben [This message has been edited by Stang72 (edited 08-20-2004).]

I have one and really like it so far. But I don't think it works for the 600CFM carbs only 650 and up. See the following threads.https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/Forum12/HTML/008495.html http://www.fordmuscle.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?word=&topic=30121&forum=1

thats correct, the base and butterfly size is different on the 600 compared to the 650-700-750. the proforms are nice and they sure look cool but i dont think you will see any performance gains unless your old carb was really choking the engine.------------------

my carb isn't choking my current engine.. it's gonna choke my new engine,  ..i'm switching over from a mild 302 to a cleveland 351 BOSS with a healthy cam..so i need to step up from my current 600cfm vs..or mayber it's better to just buy a new 750 for the 351??? what carb would you guys use ,a mech.sec. or v.s. ????

in my humble opinion, if it were a street car i would use the vs. but if it is a race car i would use a dp. ------------------

Your cam is not large by any means considering the large ports of the cleveland.If it was me I would'nt go with anything smaller than a 750cfm...I like the dp with dropleg boosters but if fuel cost  is a problem a vs would work too.As far as used carbs go sometimes they can corode internally then they're pretty much junk.popeye ------------------
