SouthernGent Your engine buildup if almost the same as mine. I'm running a little bigger cam with a edelbrock intake and 600 carb. My 37 only weighs 3000lbs. and the SB makes it scoot.

Another Update

The Edelbrock 600 is goona be a slight change to a 750 due to the price is only about 12 dollars more

The old holly is gonna recieve a one way power valve (Cost about 12 dollars) to prevent it from ever happening again....

Looks like someone got some nice looking help in polishing the engine

Her tail lights I would never get tired of looking at and she might have some great assets to shining the engine lol

Nice looking truck but then again who's looking at the truck lol

Uh - okay - so it's basically stock except for the intake that is a big mismatch under that dinky little old Holley. I blew a set of those Keith Blacks through my catalytic convertor, they are crap.

I've also seen the same thing happen to the Prowler v6 that has KBs in them too (stock). The engine is okay for a daily driver.

Don't get on it to hard, and I hope you got the ring gap all sorted out, because if those KBs get hot they'll lock into your cylinder and blow chunks.

Why'd you stay with stock valves, springs, etc...???

You should really go with an Edelbrock RPM AirGap if you want performance. That intake is too top end - and you valvetrain and cam aren't right for it - or it isn't right for your engine.

The holly has been replaced with Edl 750 Cfm performer carb

The ring gap was done by the owner of the shop where I work at (very trusted)

The 3 angle valve job was done by a mechanic where i work at and he told me not to put alot of money into the 305 heads and to stay stock with the valves, springs and rockers cause I got hold of an 1978 454 Big Block the same morning he started doing the valve job

The 454 is sitting on an engine stand in the cornor of the shop waiting for me to tear it down to bare block (and waiting for the funds )

Alot of the shop mechanics had friends with new parts sitting around and i got alot of them for a song and dance....

Some mechanics called in a few favors from their friends too....

I work in a shop where their is 20,000 sq foot and about 9 mechanics and has a towing operations with 6 wreckers and about 12 drivers
