Usually there’s several, “here we goooo……”

I didn’t catch that the carb was a Holley VS.
With a stiff spring, those will def kill off some power.

It is without a question a 600VS and the secondaries were barely opening NOT a 750vs. The fact that putting on a high flow 750dbl didn't make much of a difference is a testament to how little air that big block was moving- then again had he ever used his dyno air turbine to measure he would have access to all kinds of valuable information. I wanna say that 387 was moving a whopping 470-485cfm.

No rear main magically stops leaking once it starts (unless it's a new rope style) . Maybe the pan gasket swelled up or maybe someone tightened something up that didn't make final edit. Don't know don't really care. J.Rob
