We ran this combination. The carb is the tiny 525 and there is no new carb replacement, if you look at a "modern" 525 AFB you will see why. The old ones aren't common but we found a couple and sent them off to Dean Oliver, who did a magnificent job making us one bad boy race carb. NHRA allowed us to use a later model Road Runner intake manifold, which we found to be way better than the '66 piece. We ran our '66 Belvedere in H/SA. It ran mid 11's and got eaten alive by more "affluent" racers in 350 Camaros but it seemed like the combination had a lot of potential. I think the new lifter rule would help at least a little bit.
