    This is sad news - keep Leanna in your prayers

    Very sad news. A strong, pretty woman with a heart of gold certainly didn't deserve this. Such is life i guess and i hope you rest in peace knowing how much you were loved here on earth. Prayers sent to Mallory, Billy and the entire family in this tough time.

    Cam help

    Not knowing anything about your combo...I'd consider this one... PLYMOUTH Howards Cams 718001-09 Howards Cams Rattler Camshafts | Summit Racing With a mild combo it will be a little soft on the low end, but from a 20/25 mph roll, it'll pull like a bear to 5500/5800...

    Holley 4150 wet carb base gasket

    Not likely. Just use a similar gasket to what Rusty showed and be done with it.

    Thrust issues with AFR gauge and Brawler carb

    Lots of good info above..... I can't believe drivability isn't out the window with a 10 drop in the primaries.

    New setup- 340 based 416, 360 based 387, or 360 based 408?

    Agree, but...... I'd prefer the kit for the rod upgrade and the extra cubes are just a bonus.

    Hurricane Helene

    One daughter in Gulfport, Fl. lost her real estate office right on Tampa Bay from the surge. Her house survived about a 1/2 mile inland, so thankful for that.

    340 or 408?

    Since we're ''off the rails'' and not many 500 plus streetable 340 builds around, why not just copy and paste one of these to a SBM.....:) https://www.motortrend.com/how-to/0811chp-327-small-block-chevy-engine-build/

    340 or 408?

    ''I'd look at 11/1 compression , I'd port my current eddy heads and Victor intake and obviously go Roller cam with more lift and duration'' This.....on the 340. Nuff said. :thumbsup:

    .480/230 cam in an 8.5 CR 360?

    I doubt the OP is looking for a street killer with his 65'. His original setup with a little bit of cam advance, and a good tune will make a nice street cruiser that sounds good. And probably run some 14's if he really feels the need to lean on it. Yep, i'm one of the old guys that have made...
