[Spridgets] Need Carb - No LBC

Edelbrock makes a Performer Series Carb in a 500 cfm which should be ideal 
for stock small block Chevrolets.  My friend used one one his Rover engine 
and it was very well matched for that application.  It is less expensive 
however to buy a reconditioned 650 cfm Edelbrock from Summit Racing.
