LA 318 advice

the street master only came in square bore for the small block. also, the entry is really confined so check your throttle blade clearance. i know it'll work with a 625 afb, but i don't know on the holley.

if that holley 550 has 1 9/16" bores then you're golden

the street master is satisfactory for a low compression 318. they're small port runners and tiny little plenum. great throttle response but they're cooked by about 4500rpm. fine and dandy for a cruiser.

that said, a performer will do everything a street master will do, only better and pull to 5500
Good info. And matches up to the cam I’m considering. 262 grind from comp. I’ve really lowered my thoughts and expectations on this engine. Sorta looking at it in a realistic way, not like I would have 40 years back.
