5.3 carb conversion

alright guys I am looking for a little help , please.

I am in the process of putting  a 2005 5.3L / 4L60 into mt '55 panel truck street rod project.

I want to swap it to run carbs .. the best looking intake options I can find is the edelebrock  intake with msd control box ( p/n 7118 ) and running a 650 or 700 cfm carb .

has anyone else made this conversion ?  

Is there anything I should watch out for .. or any other things you ended up swapping  out during your conversion  ?

basically looking for how yours went so I can make teh swap ASAP with as few issues as possible --- yeah I know that's a funny statement .

thanks in advance ,

mike  

Hi there,
   There is no need for a carby any larger than a 650. Maybe a 650 Holley
   or a B/Grant Speed Demon 650 both have vacuum secs and both are well
   suited fot for the job.. Good luck ...Skyeking..  

quadrajet... best carbs ever made IMO. great economy and massive power when the huge secondaries open up. almost all are 750cfm, a few were 800cfm, but becuase of the design, they only pull the amount of cfm's the motor can use.
