You should have between a 750cfm and an 850cfm carburator on most any street 440 combo, a 650 will be restrictive on that large of an engine.

OK, is this a 440 HP motor or a 350 hp out of a New Yorker? The 350 hp motors had 520 cfm Holleys in 1970 so I'm thinking thats what you got. The 440 HP motors had 750 cfm AVS Carters.

We know it's a 440, but what is the HP on it? What year is the motor?

i already had alot of trouble with this question....but im pretty sure its close to 500 but they gave me hell cuz i havent had time between school and work and working on the car to get it dynoed.....so how much would it affect the gas mileage to switch from a 650 to an 800

I have an 870cfm Carter AVS from a '68 440 HP motor (I ran the numbers on it to find out what exactly it was and what it was from), it was on the '73 400 HP that was in my Roadrunner when I got it. It currently is sitting in my tool box and I have my Holley 750cfm double pump on the 440 that is currently in my Roadrunner.
