Slant 6 4bbl Carb Selection

RustyRatRod said
Stock bottom end with a big solid lifter cam. Head cut about .175" (it was an accident, long story). Blueprinted compression was right at 10.5 so I knew I needed a lot of cam so it would run on pump gas. I called Ken Heard at Oregon Cam and we decided on with .465 lift, 250 degrees duration @ .050" ground on 108 lobe separation. I went low lift because I already had valve springs (Comp 942) and I needed to utilize those. The engine turned out much better than I would have imagined. It runs extremely well, even with that rowdy cam. I'm sure the manual transmission and 3.23 gears help, but even still, I think it would be peppy.

thanks for the info, sorry if I hijacked the post....my wish list is to eventually hop up my slant, was figuring rering if the bores look good, one of the 2 smallest hughes cams, cut the head .1" or so, a little bit of bowl work, dunno if I'd go bigger valves or just backcut the stockers, I'd like to go with the aussiespeed 2bbl hurricane manifold and some sort of EFI, whether it's the 2bbl holley sniper, or figure out a controller and doing a port setup utilizing some OEM injectors (I do have 16 5.2L magnum injectors on my shelf) and the 2bbl magnum throttle body I have sitting on the shelf, too...
