I too have a shelf full of Holleys and that's where they will stay. I
have been an avid user of the Edelbrock Performer series carbs for many
years, I have built five SFB engines of varying displacements and have
used either the 500 CFM (1404) on the stock sized engines or the 600 cfm
(1406) series on the strokers without issue. The ability to change jets
in a few minutes is great, the floats stay adjusted, and the split line
is above the gas level so they don't leak. The carbs use a two position
needle jet that adjusts the mixture depending on vacuum level so I can
jet them lean for highway and nice and fat when I punch the loud pedal.
They resist boil-over, and they seem impervious to the swill we call
premium gas around here.

If you buy one, be sure to spend the extra $40 and get the jet/needle
tuning kit.
