holley does not make one that I know of.
Hey there, yah Holley used to make a performance 350cfm progressive that works like the stock carb. However its long since out of production, and I think in the last 4 years on ebay constantly ive only seen about 2 or maybe 3. They look like a regular 350 at first glance, but you can tell by the linkage. Looks just like a stock carb.
Don't be confused with the holley "replacement" that i see on ebay all the time. Its just a stock emission carb made by Holley
If you build the engine to support it ,have a standard trans, 3:40 or higher numerical rear end , you could get an esslinger single plane intake and drop a 350 on it and have a very peppy lil runner @ the higher rpm ranges. Prob only get you 15 20 hp Max if you have the cam to support it.
I had my 2.0 on a 390 6299 Holley and a ported offy intake with a C4 and a 3.18 rear. Very peppy at lower rpms. Later i switched to a Weiand intake and didnt notice much differance at the higher rpms but the lower was a bit softer.
I bet i didnt ever have more than 125hp on it. But i cant say that i ever tuned it right either.
That said the 2.0 is very hard to keep streetable naturally aspirated at higher HP levels ,unless you turbo it.
PINTONY???!! :)
Got to get now talk later ;)
Good luck
