1965 396/325 Holley Carb

impstocker · 03-24-2013, 11:03 PM

I just bought a 65 Impala and will be building a new stocker using the 396/325 motor from my old 68 Impala, (which was sold and restored back to its original 427/425 self) Engine specs are the same except i can use the "small" Holley. Not knowing a lot about it , it looks like a run-of-the-mill 1850 600 cfm Holley? Is there a NHRA replacement Holley I can use?

My old Impala went 11.70 at 4100 in I/S with this motor. WEEE

After you confirm the p/n, call Quick Fuel and see what they can supply to you. They may not have it listed in the book but I have no doubt they will build you one and get it NHRA approved.

impstocker, I think you would be better off using a quadajet carb, its 750 cfm over the 600 holley, just my opinion. Tom

Be careful on the cam swap, some 1965 had a journal cut in the rear bearing.

Marvin sold Quick Fuel to the company that owns Holley. Marvin sits on the board of directors of all of it now.

Talk to Phil Vickhus, Zach Baker, or Scooter, they'll take care of you. All three of those guys have worked with us on our stuff. Zach is more accustomed to big inch stuff for the .90 super classes, and Top Sportsman / Pro Mod / Top Dragster, but he does work on the Stock Eliminator and Super Stock stuff.

You can also call Jimmy Bridges, Jimmy does great things with the Quick Fuel and Holley carburetors.

I called Quick Fuel and they told me they had a 3310 780 Holley that was approved for a 70 383 Challenger, not sure who's answering the phone there but I knew he had no idea what he was talking about.

They are under new ownership.

when did that happen and who bought them?

Holley bought Quick Fuel last fall. Call back and ask for Scooter or Phillip. I think they have the small Carb approved for stock and super stock.
