Go do some research on your engine, because if you buy too big of a carb you will have shit performance that you won't be able to tune out of. Rookie mistake is putting a fuckhueg carb that you got because reasons onto an engine that doesn't want it. Specifically look at how much airflow your engine wants (cfm range), and match that with your carb.

If you're just changing the carb and intake then you won't benefit much from something that's too high performance.

Most dual planes should work well. Notably the weiands and edelbrocks. Don't get an "air gap" or any kind that doesn't have a heat riser.

The carb you pictured will work well. A vacuum secondary carb in the 750-600 range will work good.
You might check out the summit brand carbs. They are a copy of holley's copy of the ford autolite carbs. They are priced well and only have one gasket unlike holleys which have many.

You don't need to change the camshaft.

How do I find out how much airflow my engine need?

This will give you a rough idea of what CFM you need http://www.csgnetwork.com/cfmcalc.html

If he has a decent Chrysler it should have the 413 Wedge. But I don't think they made a 2 barrel 413.

HOLD YOUR HORSES OP!

First of all what motor do you have?
Chances are you have an RB big block (413) if it's a 61 Chrysler. But is the motor original? Because if you have a B (or low deck) big block then you'll run the risk of buying the wrong intake.

RB and B Chrysler bigblocks have different deck heights, resulting in non-interchangeable intake manifolds.

RB's are the 413, 426(NOT HEMI), and 440
B's are 361, 383, and 400
There are VERY rare motors like the RB383 which is nearly nonexistent so you needn't worry. Then you have Max Wedge motors and of course the Gen 1 and 2 Hemi's. None of which are a 2bbl big block.


Regarding your desired cfm. If your only upgrade is going to be an intake/carb with the stock cam for a 2bbl set up then there's no reason you should exceed anything bigger than a 750cfm with choke and vacuum secondaries. You could even buy a cheap edelbrock "econo" carb (600-650cfm) which are ridiculously easy to mess with. Considering "aesthetics" are your main goal i wouldn't even go near the 750, I'm just informing you what not to exceed when making a decision.

And stick with a dual plane intake manifold. You don't need some large plenum volume single plane intake with exceedingly tall runners if you have a stock "low-end" cam profile.

And here I was thinking there was nobody else on /o/ who still knew their shit. Shine on you magnificent stallion.

Listen to this guy. Figure out your engine and go from there, a budget Edelbrock 1405 or 1406 if you want an electronic choke can be had for $300-350 new, not remanufactured, and another $150ish for the performer intake.

You won't see a ton of gains off an intake and carb swap, but if you coupled it with some headers and exhaust, you could easily see 40-60hp and equal ft lbs out of it.

>Don't get an "air gap" or any kind that doesn't have a heat riser.

nigga, deleting my old heat riser and going with an air gap was one of the best things i've done to my old truck.
it just takes 2min longer to warm up.

361. It's a Canadian Windsor which is equivalent to the Newport.

>>14780019

Motor is original. It is the B block. Hemi's were not available for my car that year.

>>14780078

That's fine with me. Not looking for a lot of gains, just a little bit of extra oomph.
Also. thanks for all the advice everyone.
