I’m not knocking the Holley, it’s a great carb but I never understood why they used it on small block motorhomes. My ‘73 Fireball had no guts going up hill.
I was wondering that but didn't have enough info. I supposed they rejetted it but the size of venturis can't be changed.
It's probably good to assume what works on a big block won't work on a small block and vice versa.
All the parts have to work together ... and need to suit the application and use.
I've seen too many people make a big change in one area and wonder why their vehicle suddenly runs crappy instead of better. Likewise, I've seen guys build engines suitable for stock car races and are "less than impressive" while profiling around town.
