bro, those 920's look tore up from the floor up. if you wanna keep it on a beer budget, snap on those 675's and ship it. there's no telling what could be wrong with those 920's-- janky guides, wasted seats, bad deck, cracked, and on and on. i wouldn't run those without a hot tank, mag check...

eddy performer with a 500~625 carter/eddy afb or AVS 2 (and that's performer, not RPM or air gap) if you could find one and don't mind splashing the cash, eddy LD4-B would be awesome. **double check that you have the later heads** early units had a different bolt angle and take a specific...

a 400 with moderate compression (9.5:1) and a reasonable cam (under .500) and some decent heads-- breathed on 906/915 or eddy's will put down 400+ all day without even breaking a sweat. a little more cam and some head work would see you knocking on the door of 500 pretty easy without anything...

be wary of the cheap repop and offshore junk available on summit and ebay. the yards are littered with them, but don't get a lean burn unit. a wanted ad here would probably turn one up. or @halifaxhops our resident distributor master would be a great resource.

if those missing headlights are feeding twin spools... i'm oddly okay with this. otherwise, that's gonna be a no from me dawg.

i just... i can't. congratulations DTM, you've officially said something so asinine that i'm at a loss for words.

273/318/340/360 it's all the same. factory electronic is the way to go.

that's a possibility, and yeah the bracket set up from late 70's thru 91ish would work with a little futzing about. the support struts attach to the intake manifold, so you'd need an aftermarket or a stock 318/360 from that time. the alt mount is different and frequently takes a different...

ahhh the wonderful world of science according to Dan The Man.

i have this holley economaster 450 that i got in a trade with some funky 8 bolt crank that i 'll be using as an anchor. do you think it's worth the upgrade to a 500? i could probably sell that 450, i hear you don't see them that often any more and they're getting harder to find.

you'll get no argument from me there. maybe a high end alum. unit on the later 67+ cars, but for the early stuff nothing really fits as well as the stock unit. add in the uniqueness of the early early road toad and i can foresee just all kinds of pain in the assedness little fitment issues.

excellent. that's what i was hoping to hear. i'll port match them to this "torker" intake i just picked up. by name alone this promises huge potential in power production down low.

warmed over 360. please refer to the DTM style guide that i sent out via transponder.

dynamic compression is a function of the camshaft (valve timing). here, to save us all a lot of time is a link with an explanation Compression ratio - Wikipedia if you're looking for a specific dynamic compression ratio you build toward that by carefully selecting components to give you a...
