>>>Without a doubt it's too big for your motor.   FWIW my 569 hp 427 
side-oiler in my Cobra made peak power with an 850 double-pumper, but driveability 
was crap.   I switched to a 750 DP (which some say is 'too small' for a 
pumped-up 427), perhaps gave up a little power, and gained 1000% improvement in 
driveability.

I have a 700 DP on my built 351C in my Pantera and that's just about 
perfect IMHO.
