That is one strange looking carb. I've seen pics of them, but have never been around one. Looks like a standard Holley/Motorcraft accelerator pump on the side, but don't recognize anything else - except the backfire.

But when he revs it the thing sounds healthy.

Those Predator carbs will flow a lot of cfm but can be tricky to tune but flow like no other once they are dialed in. On a 300 though, I believe it's too much carb for it. If memory serves me right, the original Bigfoot used two of those on it's highly modified 460. I have been around one of those carbs and that one leaked like spaghetti strainer and it was on a 460. It wasn't stock by any means but not as modifed as far as Bigfoot's 460 and though it was only running a single Predator it was still a little big for it.

Predator carbs were different in variable cfm and I think were capable up to 900cfm. They pulled only the amount of air needed for the throttle position it was at.

Yes, I had the complete engine but in moving stuff to make the city of Newport News happy (nothing could be seen unless you climbed a 6' privacy fence or pried a gate open) it got misplaced at Pete's. I was going to stick it in a 1996 with a bad 3.8L NA engine.
