Merc HP 500 carb replacement??

What carb is a replacement for an HP 500 Carburator? I need to have the carb rebuilt, or purchase a new one. The engine is a 427 stroked to a 496, 751 cam, headers, 9.2 compression. Thanks!

Call Nickerson. They'll send you one pre-tweaked and jetted for your application. They're usually right on the money out-of-the-box. They can probably do yours and save you some $$
