Don’t hold your breath for a response

The depths people will go for $30 amazes me. What a turd.

Are those installation tools? :lol:

I don’t know what your meaning of “good”is. Do you have the specifics on the valve grind? Any track data? Don’t know if you’ll see 20 with a bowl blend. You will not feel 20 hp in the seat of the pants

Kinda hard to answer without knowing much anything else about what you have going on. If the heads are the bottleneck, bowl blending will help “more”, if they are not the bottleneck, it will help “less”. More would be 20 hp, less would be 5 hp. I did a head swap on my 400 hp-ish street car...

Do you have a converter now, if so, try it first. If it’s not what you want, you’ll have great info for selecting the right converter.

No lash with a hydraulic cam. There is a preload.

Sounds like a solid but simple combo. I bet it runs well.

Dwyane mentioned that the Holley 80531 might be a starting point to build into a factory look alike carb, so I posted a picture.

I think you can run the 800 cfm Edelbrock carb in FAST. I would start there. Have you run the car yet to see where you are at? You might find that there are a lot of other things you might want to work on before the carb.

Holley 80531, lower right, obviously.

Intake face of the heads

If you have a fitment issue because of deck milling, a valley plate will not help. Take your aluminum heads to a shop like you did with the iron heads. Have them milled 0.060” on the intake face. Get two sets of 0.015” and 0.030” intake gaskets. You”ll have everything you”ll need to make...

Technically, the 69 6 Pack did not have the commonly referred to “6 Pack” pistons. They had the std. 4 bbl pistons. The 2355 forged is the replacement piston for the factory cast. It’s the same in every meaningful way. Piston with pin will be within a few grams of the factory original and...

On second thought, the 2266 might be the right piston for 1971.

Sealed Power/Speed Pro 2355

No You’ll give up a little power from midrange up What you give up will be imperceptible.

Nice looking house and garage.

Without doing the math I’d guess that’s close to 450 hp in a 4000 lb car in decent air (1000 ft DA)

Interesting thread. I’m going to be brutally honest here. If a guy that doesn’t seem to know much of anything about his muscle car and doesn’t want to do the simple work himself and is using a mechanic that doesn’t seem too good either, it will be painful exercise If you have a bunch of...
