Holley TBI with 1and 5/8" Throttle Bores

I bought a Holley TBI this weekend which has the same size bores as my intake manifold. Does anyone know what this unit is supposed to flow? How does that compare to my stock TBI? Should I use the Holley or not? Also what size fuel injectors should I use?

That sounds like the unit for the 4.3 liter V6. On the 1.6 rockers be sure to check the pushrod clearance to the head. The ratio change moves the pushrod closer to the stud and this may cause a clearance problem. Maybe someone who has done this will insert some info here. I am fixing to change cams instead of doing the rockers. Good luck!

It seems to make sense. I understand that the Holley TBI for the 4.3L is only rated at 400 CFM. I think I'm going to return it and stick with my stock unit. Eventualy I'm going to a carb any way. As soon as I can afford to get all of the necessary components together.

Also, I think your right about getting the cam instead of the 1.6 rockers. I'm thinking about the crane powermax 2020.
