Default Re: Carb CFM Question ??

A basic Holley LIST 1850 would work just fine, and best of all they're dirt cheap.

It's a shame no one offers an affordable spread bore manifold for this application. If you're willing to run an adapter, I think a quadrajet would be a great choice here. The tiny primaries offer superb throttle response and efficiency (i.e. gas mileage), they're reasonably easy to fine tune if you start with the appropriate unit to begin with, and the later units provide for an electric choke.

A unit off of a late `70's Chevy/GM SB truck would probably work exceptionally well since the truck carbs are calibrated for strong low rpm performance.

Just my $.02
