Any issues installing an Edelbrock 1812 "Thunder" AVS on a stock 440 intake?

[moparedtn]

As the title suggests, I've got an Edelbrock 1812 Thunder AVS (800 cfm) carb on the way for my mostly stock 440. Am I going to have to do anything to the intake in order to install the carb?

my experience is that they're way too rich OOTB.

I'm speaking specifically of physically mounting it on the intake. Interference issues, etc.

Nobody here has ever installed an Edelbrock AVS on a 440? Really?

Ed, If your factory intake is a square bore style it will bolt on, If you have a spread bore intake you will need one plates to make the cross over. Use a insulated carb gasket the edelbrock will heat soak more than a holley,
max fuel pressure is 6 to 7 lbs.
fuel line will need some mods,
edelbrock sells a Chrysler throttle cable adapter to hook to the side of the carb, but with you having the 4 speed all you will need is a small machine screw/bolt double nutted on the carb arm , drill a hole through the screw/ bolt so you can put the washer and cotter pin on it, or just grab a mopar throttle pin for a auto trans car and mount on the edelbrock.

fuel pressure will be the hiccup if you have after market pump you may have to stick a regulator on it and cut it down some.

Thanks, Rip. Starting to think I'm talking to myself in here.
I have the throttle adapter from the Holley, so I'll just transfer it over.
I may take the big n bad Carter hemi pump off and put the stock one back on, easy enough to do.
More concerned about throttle levers and such interfering with the stock intake, which is a correct 60's style Mopar cast iron one (square bore).
