Well, seeing as how the last sbc I ran was in a sprint car in the late 70's I would call my favorite cylinder head shop, discuss with him what the rest of the engine is, the intended usage of the car, and that I am after consistent power rather then peak horsepower and have him pick me the correct heads then do the required tweaking of them on the flow bench.... I would also have him match and flow the intake for the engine then have him spec the mechanical roller cam to be compatible with the engine.... I prefer a good crank trigger setup on drag cars for the ignition and am currently running a carb out of the Vindicator shop....very pleased with it so I'd more then likely just buy another one.... I would suspect they would build me a 750 Dominator based carb that will have a real flow rate in the 780 to 810 CFM range....

I discovered years ago that going with the experts who deal with engines like this on a daily basis and have first hand experience with the components will yield the best results..... The last time I worked in an automotive machine shop and had access to a flow bench was better then 20 years ago so I'm quite sure the technology has changed considerably since then. Working with an expert who has a proven track record to me is a much more accurate way to get the correct components the first time then studying mounds of biased tech data and performance claims from the various manufacturer's.

When everything is blue printed, checked, rechecked, assembled, and in the car, and the initial run in and adjustments done my next stop is Andy's shop in Watertown for a few pulls on the chassis dyno then on to the track with a car that is built and tuned to the "kill" position and start laying down some very quick and repeatable passes!!!!!
