Default carb sizing.

Iam in the the process of installing a 351W in my 68 coupe. I currently have a 2 barrel on it but i had a 600 holly from my old engine and i was wondering if it would be enough to feed that 351. It is a 71 block with 73 heads. About 9.5:1 compression and i plan on putting a nice exhaust on it and likely a cam with some 1.7 rockers. Do you think it would be enough

yep. It should work good with stock heads and cam. It should have great throttle response and driveability. With a good set of headers you could step up the cam a bit too. Something like a 220/224 cam, evena single pattern would work good in it.
