Holley Carb question

It's a holley 725 cfm replacement carburetor for the 3259-1
that was used on early 65-67 Shelby GT350. I used to run
a 4118 on my car (67) until I found a 3259 and it's performance was
the same with one difference. You can very easily adjust the
float levels on the 4118. Value, not that much as it is quite
a common carb. Have seen several on ebay the last few months.
Hope this helps,

Hey Bo...what was the list number on the 725 the the 65 r-modles used...would love to find one of those for my mustang..could one not just put some lemans bowls on this carb and it be correct in look and functionality as the carb for the R-Model?

 

Jimmy,
If I don't recall wrong the R-model carb had a list number
of 3255 and was rated at 780cfm.
