Doug, I'm relieved to read the carb troubles are resolved. Wahooo! Always best to fix one problem before you bolt on something else. I'll drink a buttery nipple tonight to celebrate! Heck, maybe two or three!
That was very fast service on your carb rebuild kit, were did you purchase it? Should have used them for the distributor!
got your eyes on my 750 dp? You're not developing a "horsepower" itch are you?
I was in touch with Bob at Scat crankshafts this week, he recently had a customer build a 393 Windsor (3.85" stroker crank), AFR 195cc heads, mild hydraulic roller cam (236 degres intake duration at 0.050" lift), edelbrock air gap intake & 750 demon carb; 490 bhp @ 5800 rpm. He brought that up because I've begun talking to him about the specifics for my stroker kit of the same displacement, and this engine had similar goals as mine. My thoughts at this time are an externally stock looking 351C that idles & runs as smoothly as a stock engine but packs 50% more bhp (~450 bhp). Running my Boss intake & 4300D carb (I hope
). The extra displacement will wake up the throttle response of the 4V heads, as will the extra 0.100" lift of the roller cam. Do you think a motor like that would appeal to anyone else?
Tell Charlie, Alex & Julie I said hi.
