so I picked up a cheap 84 ltd and I'm trying to build a cheap little street/strip car. It'll be driven 1-2 days a week during nice weather, and taken to the drag strip probably 2 times a month during the track season.
goal for the car is to have a fun street car, that will run 11's on a 150 shot.
the engine is a stock long block with upgraded springs and probably an ecam (budget build and you can find them dirt cheap used.) To further disappoint, I'll probably use the stock rockers. I do plan on upgrading the springs.
I've had lots of foxes, but none were ever carbed, so it's new territory for me.
From what I've gathered, I'd probably be happiest with a dual plane intake. Something like a edelbrock performer rpm or air gap, weiand shealth (questionable quality?), or something along those lines? Whatever I get will be used.
As for the carb, I thought I would spend a little money here, and just go new. Lookin at the edelbrock avs2 1509. At 650cfm, is it going to be to big? Any better budget friendly carb recommendations? Manual choke is okay with me.
