Your 2100 has like 520 cfm. If you don' have a four barrel set-up, then why did you ask a question about a 600 cfm carburetor? Unless you replace everything under the carb to accept the four barrel carb, then you just need to stick with your 2100.

Why do you think you need another manifold? Either intake or exhaust?

Yeah, thats exactly what i said. I know my 2 barrel is going to go out soon, and i WILL NOT put another 2 barrel on, I'd upgrade to a 4 barrel right then and there. I think a 500-600 CFM carb would be just right for a pretty stock 289.

You got a carb coming? I like Edelbrocks, but man, do they get horrible gas mileage. Our 67 Ford F100 has a 600 CFM carb on it, and we are filling it up all the time.
