Default best size holley for a stock 351 clevo

G'day Ford lovers.

I've got a stock 351 clevo lined up for a ute i'm doing up and am wondering what size holley to put on it. I don't intend to bag it around town much, but i do want the engine to be at it's best. The gearbox is an FMX in good shape and the diff 2.75 so there won't be much revving involved.

I run a 600 vac sec on my near stock 351 clevo. Seems to work good.

600 vac will do nicely. Clevos like a nice drink, specially if they are tricked up, but stock a 600 vac will be just right.

Old Mate. I agree with the 600 CFM.

Also there is a Cleveland section, this is the best place for advice.
