Dodger,
I'm missing something here. Let's say I have a 426 and want 5000 RPM
SORRY,,,,,,,,,I ENGAGED FINGERS BEFOR ENGAGING MIND,,,,
it should have read,,,,,,,,
1. engine cubic inch times desired RPM
2. the # derived at in #1 times .5 (this is because it takes two engine
revolutions to create one intake stroke)
3.the # derived at in #2 divided by1728 (this is 12 x 12 x 12, or the
equivilent of 1 cubic foot, which turns your #2 anwser from cubic inches to cubic
feet)
4. the # derived from #3 multiplied by 1.2 (the 1.2 factor is because
everything does not always work and it does on paper, and the .2 is an adjustment
for air flow )
5. the # derived in #4 is the size of carburetor needed, but in you case
must be divided by 2 because you have 2 carburetors, so divide #4 by 2
6. with this number you have calculate the size of carb that you need to
run, take the
number, and buy the next higher common size carbs,,,,,,,,,,probably 500s
