There's another way to look at it: You can take the fuel bowls, metering plates, vacuum diaphragm, feed line, and choke off your 3310 and put them on an 850.

In other words, the things that don't have anything to do with flow are what you can take from a 750 and put on parts that flow 850. The body (with booster venturi) and throttle plate determine flow, buy those 850 parts and put the rest on from the 750.

If you've got an 850 that's got bad or missing float bowls, throttle plate, metering plate, or choke, you can take those from the 750.

You can buy hi flow carb bodys from Proform.

You can "port" a carbs venturiis and thin the throttle shafts
to increase the flow. A 750 can be tweeked to about 900cfm.
