I Love mine!
I put a 1405 on my 69 Chevelle 350 c.i. 255 horse motor. I had to buy a 50.00 adapter kit to install it where the quadrajet was, straight bore carb. to spread bore manifold. Also had to cut stock fuel line and buy a kit to hook the filter and fuel line to the new carb. I also purchased a 14 x 3 air cleaner to feed air to it. The stock air cleaner held too much air back. Vacuum to the transmission was also an issue. The mounting adapter did not have a pre-drilled port. Edelbrock suggested you drill your own port and install the proper fitting. I ended up splitting the timed vacuum port on the carb between the tranny and vacuum advance to the distributor.It was not bolt on and go. It took several days at a few hours a day, to figure out all the parts needed and to get all the plumbing done.That is the bad. The good: The truck I put this motor in runs great. When I put my foot in it, the motor will set you back in the seat. The front lifts and it keep pulling. No hesitation, no spitting or sputtering, just power. I can’t stay on it long at all because it has that much power that speeds get unsafe quick.I like it that much that I am currently gathering all the parts I will need to put a 1405 on another truck I have. It is a tired 79 350. I hope to increase it’s power too. It is only about a 175 horse motor so I am not expecting the power gain I got from the 69 motor.When that one is complete, I will post my results on that one as well.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I'm pleased with the way everything worked so easily. From previous comments I expected some installation hassles; not so in my case. Bolt on, ( change fuel line) and start 'er up.Eezy Peezy!
