750 carb too much?

I can get a free brand new Edelbrock Carb. All I know about it is that its a 750. Do you think that 750 is too much for the 330HO crate motor with headers and a Performer RPM intake?

You bought a 330 'crate motor' ?? What a waste of money on a bored out 305.

I believe that would be the "330 HP 350 HO" GM crate motor...

Yeah, its the 350 330 hp crate motor. Not a "bored out 305".

750 may be a little high in my opinion but changing the jets you'll be fine. Go for it you have nothing to lose!!

It will work fine. My motor is almost identical to your crate motor
and the 750 is fine. If yours is a #1407 model carb you may want to lean out the primary side a bit for crisp throttle response and mileage. Its a little fat out of the box.
A .065x.037 rod with a .107 primary jet works for me.
The secondary jets are fine as is. (.107)
